To that end, I’ve rounded up twenty-five salads, main dishes, sides and desserts featuring ripe summer produce. Hurry and make these fresh summer recipes while you still can!

I struggled to keep this list at a reasonable number, so be sure to check out my full summer archives and summer recipes Pinterest board for even more summer recipes. I’ll be back with more new recipes later this week!

1) Double Tomato Pesto Spaghetti with Zucchini Noodles

“Made this for dinner tonight… so delicious! I took a shortcut and bought my zucchini already spiralized at Whole Foods. The sauce is amazing, so flavorful! I’m excited to have some of it leftover to eat during the week :)” – Halley

Chickpea Couscous Bowls with Tahini Sauce

These chickpea couscous bowls are a super quick dinner recipe: in just 25 minutes you have a fresh, vegan Mediterranean bowl covered in tangy tahini sauce.

One of our top goals when we create a recipe is to find that elusive intersection between healthy, delicious, and doable. I say elusive BECAUSE it’s simple to find recipes with one or two of the three, right? Healthy recipes that taste terrible. Delicious recipes that are too complex. Easy and delicious recipes that are terrible for you. Now, Alex and I have had lots of chances to want to be more gourmet or foodie or complex but really: We just want to feed you dinner. We want it to taste good, not break the bank, and not take all evening. After 8 years of creating recipes for you, we think you’ll like this one: basically a couscous Buddha bowl with tahini sauce. It’s a play on many themes we riff on: bowl meals, Mediterranean-style cuisine, and simple, seasonal food. Except for some reason, this one tastes even better than all the rest. I dare say it’s my favorite bowl meal we’ve made! And we created a video for you too (below).

Is couscous a grain?

First, a few things we didn’t cover in the video: what is couscous made of? Contrary to what you might think, couscous is not a whole grain. It’s actually tiny balls of flour pasta! For this recipe we used whole wheat couscous, meaning it’s tiny balls of whole wheat pasta. Since it looks like a whole grain like quinoa or rice, it’s sometimes confused for being gluten free. Couscous is not gluten free! For a substitute, consider rice or quinoa. The reason we chose couscous for this recipe is that it is extremely quick cooking. Bring it to a boil with water, then remove the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. That’s it! So making couscous bowls for dinner is extraordinarily quick.

How to make vegan couscous bowls

How to make couscous bowls? As you may know, bowl meals are super simple to throw together. Here are the main components in our couscous bowls:

Greens: we like to start with a good base of greens, and cover them with all the other goodies! Couscous: here we’ve used whole wheat couscous (see above) Chickpeas: typically we use canned, but since we got an Instant Pot now we’ve been cooking them in the Instant Pot! It takes less than 1 hour to cook dried beans, which saves a lot of time versus cooking them on the stovetop. Here’s how we do it: How to cook chickpeas in an Instant Pot. Fresh veggies: Here we’ve used tomatoes and cucumbers, which are in season here in Indiana, but you can use any veggies you’d like! Lemon tahini sauce: Here’s our favorite sauce for a Mediterranean-style couscous Buddha bowl: our best lemon tahini sauce! It’s super flavorful and simple to whisk together. Tahini is a sesame seed paste that’s available at most grocery stores. It’s used for homemade hummus, and we’ve found there are so many more things to use it for: like this sauce!

Description

These chickpea couscous bowls are a super quick dinner recipe: in 25 minutes you have a fresh, vegan Mediterranean bowl covered in zesty tahini sauce!

Ingredients

For the chickpeas

1 1/2 cups cooked or 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (use our Instant Pot Chickpeas method to cook dry chickpeas!)1 tablespoon olive oil1/2 teaspoon cumin1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the couscous

1 cup whole wheat couscous3/4 teaspoon kosher salt1 tablespoon olive oil2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

For the bowl

1 small cucumber 1 pint cherry tomatoes 8 cups salad greens 1 recipe Best Lemon Tahini Sauce

Instructions

Make the chickpeas: If using dry chickpeas, cook them using our Instant Pot chickpeas method (in under 1 hour!) or our Dutch oven method. If using canned, drain and rinse them. In a medium bowl, stir them together with the olive oil, cumin, and kosher salt.

Make the couscous: In a medium pot, bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil. Add couscous and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. When done, stir in the olive oil, another 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and the parsley.

Make the dressing: Follow the instructions in Best Lemon Tahini Sauce.

Assemble the bowls: Peel and chop the cucumber. Slice the tomatoes in half. In a large shallow bowl, place the greens, then top with couscous, chickpeas, cucumber, and tomatoes. Drizzle with lemon tahini dressing (about 2 tablespoons per bowl). Serve immediately. Leftovers stay in the refrigerator for a few days: keep all components separate for maximum freshness.

Notes

If you have especially hungry eaters, you could 1.5 or double the chickpeas or couscous, or serve it alongside pita and hummus.

Best Lemon Tahini Sauce

The Best Lemon Tahini Sauce is a vegan tahini dressing that’s perfect for anything: a Buddha bowl sauce, on a sandwich or veggie burger, over nachos, or as a dip for veggies!

Alex and I have been making this lemon tahini dressing for quite a while now, but decided we should share it as it’s own recipe. Because it’s that good. Yes, we put it on everything. As a Buddha bowl tahini dressing (or for bowl meals, whatever you call them!). On sweet potatoes. On sandwiches and veggie burgers. Really anything that tastes good tastes better with lemon tahini sauce. It’s so easy to make! And if you’re like me, you might be wondering how to use up the tahini that you bought to make homemade hummus. We’re so passionate about this sauce, we made a video for you. Keep reading!

Watch how to make lemon tahini sauce What is tahini? Is tahini vegan?

Tahini is a paste made of sesame seeds that’s used in Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dishes. And yes, tahini is vegan. It’s purely sesame seeds and salt, according to the package in our refrigerator. We use tahini in our homemade hummus recipe, but we also use it in all sorts of other things. Tahini dressing (lot of versions) and even our new favorite: chocolate tahini cookies!

How to make lemon tahini sauce

How to make lemon tahini sauce could not be simpler! Just whisk together equal parts tahini and fresh lemon juice, then add olive oil, kosher salt, and a bit of maple syrup. A few notes: do not substitute bottled lemon juice here: you’ve got to have the real thing from fresh lemons! We like to add maple syrup to balance the acidity a bit, but you could omit it if you’re on a sugar free diet.

Once you’ve whisked together these components, the dressing will be very thick. Then whisk in water until it comes to a creamy consistency. For our recipe, we’ve used 2 tablespoons of water, but this can vary based on the tahini brand. Brands of tahini can vary widely from very creamy to chunky and thick, so make sure to eyeball it and adjust as needed. Also, some tahini brands will need to be stirred for several minutes to make sure the consistency is even, like with peanut butter.
