Ingredients:

FOR THE SALAD

  • 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat couscous
  • 2 cups water
  • Arils from 1 pomegranate
  • 1 cup roughly chopped cashews
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 thinly sliced pears
  • 2 thinly sliced avocadoes

FOR THE DRESSING

  • 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions:

  • In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the couscous, and let sit for 5 minutes. Once ready, transfer the couscous into a bowl and put in the fridge to cool off for 45 minutes.
  • Once the couscous is cold, combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl except for the pear and the avocado.
  • In a small cup, combine all of the dressing ingredients together. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Stir the dressing in the salad until evenly mixed.
  • Top with slices of pear and avocado.

Serving:

On a plate, serve some salad. Drizzle some additional dressing on top of the pear and avocado slices. Sprinkle additional cashews for extra nuttiness.
