    Baby Kale and Warm Couscous Salad

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on February 27, 2014 Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    This recipe for warm couscous salad was a “15 minutes or less” entry in the Fast & Fresh Dairy-Free Time Trials Recipe Contest, submitted by reader Christina Coopman.

    Kale and Couscous Salad Recipe

    Christina says, “This warm couscous salad recipe is easily doubled to make dinner for 4, or make a big batch and serve as a side salad at a potluck. For meat eaters, substitute tofu with leftover chicken for a quick meal.”

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Baby Kale and Warm Couscous Salad

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, peanut-free, vegan, and vegetarian.

    For soy-free couscous salad, use Christina’s chicken alternative for the tofu (not a vegan / vegetarian option).
