🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For gluten-free, swap the couscous and panko for gluten-free grains and crumbs so the salad stays hearty and crunchy. For dairy-free or vegan, leave out the Parmesan or use a plant-based hard cheese alternative.
What to serve with it
Serve this with grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or a simple tomato soup for a fuller meal. A crisp green salad or warm crusty bread also works well to round out the balsamic, herby flavors.
