Couscous Pearl Salad
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Couscous brings iron to the plate, which we can use for blood formation. Vitamin C makes the plant version of the trace element better absorbed. Pomegranate can score with it and thus offers an ideal partner for the pretty cereal pearls.
Ras el-Hanout is a spice mix consisting of ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, coriander, cumin and turmeric. If you do not have this mix of spices at home, you can alternatively prepare the couscous pearl salad with some of the mentioned spices that are available to you.
