A little note on the mint. I'm not a huge fan of overpowering mint flavor. I like my mint to be like my makeup - subtle. If you're a big fan of mint, feel free to double up with 2 tablespoons.

Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dried couscous (yields approx. 3 cups when cooked)
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds (more power to you if your grocery store carries pomegranate seeds, otherwise, get yourself a pomegranate and start digging!)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Cook couscous according to the package, leaving out the butter.
  2. While the couscous is cooking, add the pomegranate seeds, orange juice, parsley and mint to a small bowl. Mix together. Slowly whisk in the two tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. When the couscous is finished cooking, add the pomegranate dressing to the pot and mix until it's fully incorporated into the couscous.
  4. Garnish with more mint and olive oil, if desired. Serve warm or cold.
