I love to pick up the orange cranberry couscous at Whole Foods Market but it's a little spendy. So I took the ingredient list from this salad and employed the methods from a similar salad in the Whole Foods Market Cookbook and voila! Ingredients:
1 cup dried couscous |
1 cup orange juice |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger |
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries |
1 cup drained canned mandarin oranges, cut up |
2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley |
Directions:
1. In a sauce pot, bring the orange juice, water, first 2 teaspoons olive oil and grated ginger to a boil
2. Add the couscous and stir well, cover and allow to reconstitute for 10-15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, stir together the dried cranberries, mandarin oranges, almond slivers and chopped parsley.
4. Add the fruit mixture to the couscous and stir together.
5. Top with the final teaspoon of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
