Couscous is small grains made of semolina, wheat flour, salt and water. Its origin is Northern African. Couscous grains are delicate requires only lightly steaming. I was introduced to couscous when I was in West Africa. Since then, I enjoy cooking and eating it.

WHOLE WHEAT COUSCOUS TURKEY SALAD
This is something I made up, based on some ingredients I had on hand and an idea. I'm posting it here just because I really, really enjoyed it and it makes a great portable lunch. To make it a side dish, you could certainly omit the turkey. Alternatively, leftover chicken could be substituted. For the dressing, I actually used 1/4 cup of Trader Joe's Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar, but for those that don't have that, I think that the combination of orange juice and white wine vinegar would be a good substitute. Of course, regular couscous can be substituted for the whole wheat variety. I also think that toasted pine nuts would be good in this instead of the sliced almonds. As with all my recipes, please feel free to adjust quantities and seasonings to suit your own tastes and preferences. Prep time does not include time for chilling the salad.
