• 1/2 cup Tahini Sauce (ingredients & recipe below)

• ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives

• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

• 3 tablespoons tahini

• 3 tablespoons warm water

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 small clove garlic, grated

Tahini Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, stir tahini, water, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and salt. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
   

For Meal Prep:

1. Prepare falafel according to package directions; set aside to cool.
   

2. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Allow to stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes—fluff with a fork; set aside.
   

3. Prepare green beans according to package directions.
   

4. Prepare Tahini Sauce. Divide among 4 small condiment containers with lids and refrigerate.
   

5. Divide the green beans among 4 single-serving containers with lids. Top each with 1/2 cup couscous, one-fourth of the falafel, and 1 tablespoon of olives and feta. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
   

6. To serve, reheat in the microwave until heated, about 2 minutes. Dress with tahini sauce just before eating.
