Method
- In a medium pot, bring 250 ml of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the couscous, cover, and let it steam for about 5 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- In a large bowl, mix the drained chickpeas, sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, and chopped mint leaves. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and toss to coat everything evenly.
- To serve, place a generous portion of couscous in individual bowls. Top with the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Garnish with extra mint, lemon zest, and additional lemon wedges on the side.
- Serve immediately and savor the wonderful blend of textures and flavors!

Notes
Feel free to play with the ingredients in this bowl! If tahini isn't available, you can substitute it with nut butter for a different flavor twist. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; just keep the dressing separate until you're ready to serve. Reheat the couscous gently in the microwave or enjoy it cold for a refreshing salad-style meal. The colorful veggies provide not just crunch but also a boost of nutrients!
