The couscous is served here with pesto, spinach, and feta cheese, a combination that works wonders. The feta cheese adds its saltiness and gives the couscous both flavor and texture, complemented by the crispy spinach and the pesto.

โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ So simple, fresh and satisfying! As someone who cooks mostly plant-based in Berlin, I loved this couscous recipe! The combo of pesto, spinach, and feta is super flavorful, and it came together in no time. I added a few cherry tomatoes and it was perfect. Light but filling โ€” exactly my kind of dish! โ€” Sofia Vegan, Berlin ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
