Orange Couscous image

Here's a fabulous, healthy side dish that features a delightful blend of fresh herbs and sunny citrus flavors. Says Kathleen Martin of Medford, New York, "Anytime I take this to a picnic...the bowl is always the first one emptied!" TIP: When herbs are fresh and plentiful in her garden, Kathleen Martin chops and freezes them with the oil, lime juice and soy sauce, then stores in Zip-loc bags. That way she can enjoy this tasty dish with fresh herb flavor all year long.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this recipe was pretty good. The orange flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but my husband loved it.

This was a great recipe! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the pot and it was a great addition.
