growing up my dad would make a big batch of couscous salad every sunday night for me and arthur to snack on during the week. i always thought the salad was super difficult to make until recently, when i asked my dad for the recipe. not only is this recipe easy to follow, there is literally no cooking involved! so if the only thing you know how to do in the kitchen is boil water (or chicken broth), this is the recipe for you!
ingredients:
- 1 17-ounce box of instant couscous (trader joe's whole wheat couscous)
- 2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
- 3 tablespoon curry powder
- 3 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoon sugar
- 3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 oranges, juiced
- 8 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 1/4 cup dry roasted almond slivers
- pepper
directions:
- in a very large heatproof bowl, stir couscous, cranberries, apricots, curry powder, salt and sugar
- bring chicken broth to a boil then pour over couscous mixture then add orange juice
- stir quickly then tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap
- let it stand for about 5 minutes until the broth is absorbed
- using a fork, fluff up the couscous
- add olive oil, green onion slices, parsley, lemon juice and almonds
- mix ingredients and season with salt and peper if needed...enjoy!
