MANDARIN COUSCOUS SALAD
I help teach a healthy lifestyles program and often share this recipe. Instead of mandarin oranges you can add fresh chopped oranges...or replace the peas with diced cucumber or green pepper. -Debbie Anderson of Hillsdale, Michigan

I often create salads for summer using a variety of healthy, filling grains. This version with tender couscous is amped up by the bright flavors of oranges, cranberries, basil and a touch of fennel. -Kristen Heigl, Staten Island, New York

MANDARIN COUSCOUS SALAD
From Light and Tasty magazine, Dec. 2004..submitted by D. Anderson. I have to admit, I've never tried couscous because it always looks so dry when I've seen it. I'm posting this recipe in hopes someone will review it and tell me if this one will be different. I did not see anything similar on this site. I'm hoping this will get me going in the right direction with a healthy alternative for side dishes. (Time to make is a guess as I've not made this before but it does include the time to chill the couscous).

ORANGE CRANBERRY COUSCOUS LIKE WHOLE FOODS'
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!
