This dish is ready in just a few minutes. I love the tartness of the pomegranate seeds with the crunch from the pistachios and my garden has fresh mint year round. Treat yourself to this versatile dish.

Directions
Salad
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water, olive oil and salt to a boil. Remove from heat.
Add couscous to hot water. Stir to combine. Cover with a lid and let sit for 5 minutes. Couscous should have absorbed the water and is tender.
Use a fork to fluff the couscous. Move to a large bowl to cool.
Add the pomegranate seeds, pistachios, mint, parsley, lemon zest. Mix gently to combine.
Dressing
Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drizzle over couscous and gently mix.
Taste for salt and serve.
