Make sauces

  • Add mayo, half the tahini sauce (use all for 4 ppl), half the chives, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and garlic to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.) Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. (NOTE: This is your tahini-ranch sauce.)
  • Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is your lemon dressing.)

 

5

  • Add lemon zest and remaining chives to the pot with couscous. 
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fluff with a fork to combine.
  • Add spinach and tomatoes to the large bowl with lemon dressing, then toss to coat.

  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
