Ingredients | Somersaults Sunflower Seed Crunchy Bites

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups pearl (Israeli) couscous

1 cup dried cranberries

½ cup sunflower seed kernels

¼ cup walnuts

¼ cup slivered almonds

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons maple syrup

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; stir couscous into boiling broth, reduce heat to low, and simmer until couscous is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain couscous of any broth that did not absorb while cooking.

Stir couscous, cranberries, sunflower seed kernels, walnuts, and almonds together in a bowl.

Whisk vinegar, syrup, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; drizzle over couscous mixture and toss to coat.

Before boiling, the couscous can first be heated in 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat until lightly browned to bring out its nutty flavor.

Two tablespoons of olive oil can be added to the vinaigrette if you prefer.

If you prefer to serve this as a cold side salad, add 1 hour to the prep time for refrigeration.
