Place all dressing ingredients into mixing bowl and mix 5 sec/speed 6. Set dressing aside.
Line the Varoma tray with wet, well-rung baking paper. Spread couscous evenly onto the Varoma tray.
Place pumpkin into the Varoma dish and place chicken on top of pumpkin.
Place IL water into mixing bowl. Place Varoma into position and steam 17 min/Varoma/speed 2. Lightly stir pumpkin and chicken to ensure it is evenly cooked. Cook a further 7-8 min/Varoma/speed 2, or until chicken is cooked through.
Toss chicken, pumpkin, couscous, spinach and reserved dressing with your selected salad variation ingredients to serve.

Tip
This recipe is featured in the Cooking with Varoma cooking class. To create an all-in-one Varoma meal, you can cook the Chickpea soup (found on Recipe Community) in the mixing bowl during step 2.
Tips
Make sure you rinse the couscous in plenty of water or it will not steam successfully.
For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken breast fillet with cubed vegetables of choice. A few green beans steamed on the Varoma tray can also be added with the rest of the salad.

Hi Sarskia
The dip we are referring to is in the Everyday Cookbook in the Starters, sides and soups chapter. You can make this first and then use it in the above recipe.
Kind Regards

I don't know what dip you are referring to?
The Morroccan version is a real family favourite at our place. It's so tasty and makes a generous quantity.
This is a great recipe for EASY entertaining. Used quinoa instead. you must soak overnight so it doesn't fall thru basket. Looks great and festive which is good at Christmas time. Can assemble easily for picnics too.
Dinner and lunches covered all in one!! Lovely soup and salad!!
