Pomegranate Butternut Squash Couscous

Roasted Butternut Squash is absolutely delicious this time of the year as you can really enhance the flavors with either something sweet or something savory. I hate recipes that have long cooking times so to keep this couscous salad recipe simple, I purchase as many of the ingredients pre-chopped as possible. I found everything I needed at my local whole foods grocer making it easy to shop at just one location.

Pistachio Crumble

One thing to note here is that you can’t skip any of the toasting methods – it makes the salad! Toasting the pistachios added a lovely rich and crunchy flavor, but it’s the toasted couscous that really makes the difference. This simple step will have everyone wondering what your extra special ingredient is!

I promise that this Pomegranate Butternut Squash Couscous dish will be a hit at your next party. If you are looking to add something a bit extra to the salad, I personally love to add herbed goat cheese in as well. The creamy flavor works well with the crunch of the pistachio nuts and pomegranate seeds. Add your own flair to this recipe to really make it your own!
