This salad might make you think of springtime, but with winter season oranges and pomegranates, it’s a perfect way to brighten any chilly grey day.

Fregula is a flavorful alternative to pearl couscous. This pearl-shaped Italian pasta is made extra special and flavorful because it’s toasted into wonderful shades from dark brown to light. If you can source it, you’ll love it!
