Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the shallot and cold water. Set aside while you prepare the dressing .
- Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board and smash with the side of a knife. Sprinkle with the salt. With the blade edge of the knife facing away from you and nearly parallel to the cutting board, begin pressing against the garlic to create a paste with the salt.
- Add the garlic paste, capers, oregano, and white wine vinegar to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
- Drain the shallots, then mix into the dressing.
- Make the salad: Add the couscous to a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat. Gently fold in the figs, apricots, olives, and parsley. Dress with 1-2 more tablespoons of dressing and toss to coat.
- Just before serving, fold in the almonds. Serve with the remaining dressing alongside.
- Enjoy!
