Steps:
- To a large bowl, add the diced red pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, and sliced olives.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. If you have a large lemon with a lot of zest, start with around half then add more zest to taste later on.
- Heat a pan over low-medium heat and add the dried couscous to the dry pan. Toast for around 5 minutes or until golden brown, moving regularly to avoid burning.Note: I like to make couscous in a pan with a tight-fitting lid, as it lets me toast the couscous first. Toasting isn't necessary but adds extra flavour. If you don't want to do this, you can just add the dried couscous and liquid to a heat-proof bowl with a lid or cling film (plastic wrap) to create a tight fit.
- Once the couscous is toasted, remove the pan from the heat and pour over the boiling water or vegan stock. Cover with a lid and leave to steam for around 5 minutes or until the couscous is soft (it may take slightly longer depending on the variety).
- Once soft, fluff up the couscous lightly using a fork.
- Roughly chop the fresh basil. Add this to the bowl of veg along with the couscous and lemon dressing, then mix everything together well. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.

Steps:
- Place the dry couscous in a dry pan over medium-low heat. Toast the couscous, stirring frequently and keeping an eye on it as it can burn quickly, until golden brown - 5 to 10 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and pour over the vegetable stock or water. Quickly place the lid on the pan. Allow to steam for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and rake a fork through the couscous to separate.
- Transfer to a large bowl. You can serve this salad warm or allow the couscous to cool first. Toss with the chopped vegetables and herb(s) of your choice.
- Serve the salad the Mediterranean way with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper on the side for each person to dress their salad how they like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash and chop the tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces. Peel four cloves of garlic but leave them whole.
- Toss the chopped vegetables and garlic with 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet so they are in a single layer. Sprinkle a couple pinches of salt and pepper over the vegetables
- Place the vegetables in the oven and roast at 400ºF for about 45 minutes, stirring twice throughout, until the vegetables are wilted and browned on the edges.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the couscous. Add the vegetable broth to a sauce pot, place a lid on top, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the couscous, turn off the heat, and cover the pot with the lid once again. Let the couscous sit, undisturbed, for ten minutes. Then, fluff with a fork.
- After the vegetables are finished roasting, collect the four garlic cloves, and chop them well. They will be quite soft. Also roughly chop the fresh parsley.
- Combine the couscous, roasted vegetables (including garlic), and parsley in a bowl, and stir to combine. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm or cold!

- Place a dry medium pot over medium high heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns a bit deeper golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the couscous into a large bowl. Add 1 ¾ cups water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the toasted couscous (save the bowl for mixing the salad), stir, then cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes, then uncover the pot. The couscous should have absorbed all of the liquid and become tender; fluff with a fork (or if need a few more minutes, just recover the pot).
- Spread the couscous out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool. Drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and stir then spread out again.
- While the couscous is cooling, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the celery and saute for 2 minutes. Add the radicchio and ramps or scallions and saute for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are starting to become tender. Stir in the jalapeno and cook for one more minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
- Turn the cooled couscous into the reserved bowl, and add the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl (or not) and drizzle with just a bit more olive oil for good measure.
