Couscous and Bulgur Salad with Pomegranate Dressing

This is a favourite: a fresh salad with couscous, bulgur, peeled oranges, pomegranate and a bright dressing. It works well as a starter or as a meal in its own right, served with good bread. A slightly salty focaccia is particularly good with it.

For four people:

• 2 peeled oranges
• 300 ml couscous
• 300 ml bulgur
• 1 bag rocket
• Seeds from 1 pomegranate

For the dressing:

• 100 ml orange juice
• 100 ml pomegranate juice
• 50 ml apple cider vinegar
• 1 heaped tsp sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the couscous and bulgur according to the packet instructions. Peel the oranges, remove the seeds from the pomegranate and combine everything once the couscous and bulgur have cooled slightly.

Mix the dressing and pour it over just before serving.

Serve with a good focaccia.

Enjoy,
