    Practical lunch idea for the whole week

    Meal prep has never been so delicious: These couscous salad jars are the perfect solution for those who want to eat healthy but are short on time. Spicy tofu with harissa and maple syrup is baked in the oven until golden brown, while pearl couscous is cooked al dente. Fresh cucumbers, red bell peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes add crunch and flavor. The creamy hummus dressing with lemon and agave syrup binds everything together. Once prepared, the jars will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. Layering is key: dressing on the bottom, then vegetables, tofu, and finally the couscous. This keeps everything fresh and crunchy.
