I love the simplicity of couscous as it doesn't need cooking but can be a meal in itself. SO versatile! Also, it's a great way to use up bits and pieces ailing in the fridge!

Steps

1

Tip the couscous into a large flat dish. Squeeze on the juice of 1 lemon, olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix and coat the couscous.
2

Pour over freshly boiled hot water, so that it covers all of the couscous and just goes over the top by about 1-2mm!
3

Meanwhile, chop your herbs and other ingredients. Dice the onion, chop the herbs and almonds.
4

After 15 mins, fluff up the couscous with a fork, add the herbs, nuts, cheese and onions and gently stir in.
5

Once mixed, take one half of the pomegranate and have it flat side down in your hand with your fingers spread. Wack the pomegranate with a rolling pin and let the jewel seeds land on top of the salad.
6

Stir in the first half, and then add the second half to the top. Feel free to add an extra squeeze of lemon or drizzle of oil, and check the seasoning too.
7

The ingredients here are totally flexible. You can use up anything that needs rescuing from the fridge. Spring onions are good, tomatoes, odd bit of pepper. Add your favourite veg and herbs and do it your way!
