- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 red onion diced, small

- 2 carrot grated, medium
- 1 can 14 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a medium saucepan, combine vegetable broth, turmeric, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring to a boil and stir in the couscous. Cover with a lid and remove from heat immediately. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then fluff couscous with a fork. Add raisins, cover again, and set aside to let the couscous cool slightly.

- In a mason jar, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and shake well to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss prepared couscous with the raisins, roasted vegetables, chickpeas, grated carrots, chopped parsley, and toasted almonds. Add the dressing and toss to combine a few more times. If needed, season with more salt and pepper. Enjoy!
