This salad is a great way to use up leftover pomegranate molasses. I always have a bottle on hand and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this salad without the lamb. It was still delicious! The couscous and vegetables were so flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even without the meat.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover from a roast and this was the perfect way to use it up. The salad is also very versatile. I added some chopped nuts and dried fruit and it was delicious.
