Couscous Salad with Pomegranate Seeds & Mint
Description
I know, I know ... the flavor combination may sound a bit, well, ... odd. But believe me, it's soooooo good. The sweetness of the pomegranate seeds and dried currants, with the 'refreshingness' (yup, I think I just made that word up) of the fresh mint is wonderful. And the pomegranate seeds and walnuts also bring a fantabulous crunch. Mmmmmmm, mmmmm ... yummy for my tummy. It makes my tummy do a little happy dance.

- 10 oz plain couscous
- 1 tbsp olive oil
