ROASTED VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces, the onion wedges and the beetroot chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to caramelise.
TOAST THE SEEDS & MAKE THE COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

In a bowl, combine the creamy dressing with 10ml of a sweetener of choice. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. In a salad bowl, add the cooked couscous, the roasted veg, the diced cucumber, the diced tomato, the drained black beans, the rinsed salad leaves, seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss until fully combined.
