Savory Couscous Tabbouleh image

A variant on traditional bulgur tabbouleh. Great to serve at potlucks because it can be served cold or warm! Even better left over! The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together.

This tabbouleh recipe is a keeper! The combination of couscous, fresh herbs, and tangy dressing is simply divine. I especially love the addition of pomegranate seeds, which give the dish a pop of color and sweetness.
