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.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. It's even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish. I also like to add grilled vegetables to it.

I've made this salad with different types of nuts and seeds. I think my favorite combination is almonds, pistachios, and sunflower seeds.

I love the crunch of the pomegranate seeds in this salad. It adds a nice textural contrast to the soft couscous.
