Couscous with vegetables and herbs is a light, aromatic dish reflecting a modern approach to cooking. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean culinary traditions, where couscous has long been valued for its quick preparation and versatility. In this recipe, it combines with fresh arugula, sweet ramiro peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes to create a rich flavor with hints of the light acidity of sumac. The dressing made from soy sauce and olive oil adds zest and tenderness. This dish is perfect for a light dinner or as a side to meat and fish dishes. It is nutritious yet not heavy, pairing wonderfully with dry white wine or lemon drinks. The simplicity of preparation makes it an excellent choice for a quick yet elegant culinary solution.
