One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is all the delicious food. I love eggnog, sugar cookies, turkey dinner, pumpkin pie and all the rest.

But when all the feasting is over and January brings reminders of resolutions for healthier living, I need inspiration to switch gears.

So when the folks at POM Wonderful® asked us to share one of their healthy recipes, I thought perhaps you too would enjoy this reminder to select fresh, nutritious ingredients as you prepare for entertaining guests at New Years celebrations and as you plan your January menus.

My mouth was watering as I browsed the many stunning recipes on the POM Wonderful® website.

Among all the photos, this recipe for Couscous Salad really caught my attention.

I’m definitely going to try this…
