Pearl Couscous and Pomegranate Salad image

A friend of a friend brought this delicious salad to a bbq. LOVED IT and couldn't find a version on here, so sharing. She couldn't give me measurements so these are estimates.

I'm going to give this salad another try, but I'm going to make some changes to the recipe.

This salad is really easy to make, but it doesn't look as appealing as the picture in the recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really mushy. I think I might have overcooked the pearl couscous.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad is a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs or spices next time.

I found that the pearl couscous was a bit too chewy for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of grain next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less pomegranate dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of pearl couscous, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious, and the pomegranate and pistachios add a nice touch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pomegranate seeds. I always have a few leftover after making pomegranate juice, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm always looking for new and exciting salads to try, and this one definitely fits the bill. The combination of pearl couscous, pomegranate, and pistachios is unique and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The pearl couscous is perfectly cooked, with a slight bite, and the sweetness of the pomegranate pairs beautifully with the tangy dressing. I especially loved the addition of the pistachios, w
