Orange couscous salad is such a fresh dish with so many bright and bold flavors like mint, red onion, cucumber and orange. Serve chilled for best results. Ingredients:
1 (10-ounce) box plain couscous |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste |
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste |
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup) |
2 oranges |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 1 cup) |
1 cup golden raisins, currants, or chopped dates |
Directions:
1. Pour couscous into a large bowl, and stir in 1 cup boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 5 minutes or until couscous is tender. Fluff with a fork, and stir in oil and next 3 ingredients. Let cool slightly.
2. Zest both oranges; juice one. Peel second orange, and chop. Add zest, juice, and chopped orange to couscous mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and chill 1 hour or up to 2 days. Add more oil, salt, or pepper if desired before serving.
