Couscous Salad with Orange Macaroons
A cold salad of couscous, sweet, fruity and refreshing. You can easily customize your recipe by adding other dried fruits such as grapes or blueberries. I added 1 / 4 cup slivered almonds to the salad for extra crunch and protein addition. The salad is tastier the next day. I therefore strongly advised to prepare the night before.
