A refreshing and vibrant couscous salad with a citrus twist, perfect for any occasion.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
Use a lid to speed up the boiling process.
Add couscous to the boiling water, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Ensure the couscous is evenly spread in the water for uniform cooking.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.
Fluffing prevents clumping and ensures a light texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mandarin oranges, red onion, and almonds.
Chop the ingredients uniformly for a balanced bite.
In a jar, mix olive oil, cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Shake well to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine the couscous with the salad mix and pour the dressing over it. Toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the orange segments.
Serve the salad in a serving bowl and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of color and flavor.
