This Happy Healthy Living couscous salad recipe is a very refreshing salad, the combination of couscous, radishes and pine nuts, seasoned with orange juice and cilantro make this a very distinctive side dish that complements roasted or grilled meats poultry or fish.
This festive looking salad is a unique holiday addition to your table. This couscous salad is packed full of vitamin C which we all need a shot of during the holidays too! It can help boost your immune system function as well.
* Fresh (and as local as you can) pine nuts should be used. If you are making this salad out of pine nut season be careful where your pine nuts come from. We learned this from experience from a pesto recipe I tried with pine nuts imported from overseas. They left a metallic taste in our mouths for days which is not a pleasant taste.
Walnuts can be substituted if fresh pine nuts are not available. In my images you can see I ended up with walnuts at the time of my posting. I toasted them for approximately 5 minutes at 350 degrees, just long enough to bring out the oils.
