I really love couscous because it’s so easy to make yet so delicious, and this Pomegranate Herb Couscous is proof of that. The light, fluffy grains soak up the zesty lemon juice perfectly, while the juicy pops of fresh pomegranate and the crunch of toasted pistachios bring a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Tossed with parsley and a hint of mint, it’s a simple dish that feels effortlessly elegant. Whether you’re serving it as a side or enjoying it on its own, this recipe is a quick way to add a burst of color and flavor to your table!
