Couscous with Apricot Vinagrette

By GratefulSea

Fantastic recipe! Next time I will try doubling the vinagrette.

Ingredients

• 1 10-ounce box couscous (1 1/2 cups)
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup roasted almonds, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Place the couscous in a serving bowl. Pour 1-1/2 cups hot tap water over the top. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm the preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss with the scallions, almonds, and vinaigrette.
