Pearl Cous Cous Salad

I’m a salad girl

On a perfect week, my menu board reads “Something on the BBQ and salad” for just about every day

So it can be a shock when the colder weather hits and my go-to fresh, crispy summer salads don’t quite cut it anymore

I’m challenging myself this year to make more warm salads and this one is a cracker of a dish

This glaze? Holy s*t, it’s so good that you could possibly drink it

It’s sweet and sticky, yes, but it also has crazy deep and savoury notes which makes it extra moreish

There will be leftovers so have fun experimenting with it on different dishes

Roasted pumpkin is one of my favourite things, as you all know by now and I also adore the earthiness of beetroot when it’s matched with the sweet softness of the pumpkin

Add the pretty pearls of the cous cous and this is a winter salad that will become a staple

Naturally vegan, it’s pretty filling in its own right but if you need to add meat, try some thin strips of grilled lamb for a perfect pairing
