This quick side dish can be put together in a matter of minutes. I keep a bunch of scallions in the vegetable bin at all times to add to mashed potatoes, couscous, and salads.

Phelicia| 03/14/2012This recipe is really great, simple to make and easy to change up with fantastic results. I have made it as it is here, and tonight changed it up by substituting orange juice for lemon, and added a finely shredded carrot. It was delicious. Next time, I will add some toasted almonds too. One word of caution - 3 cups of broth is way too much unless you like your couscous soggy. I used only 2 cups of broth and it turned out perfect. Perhaps it is the brand of couscous I use, but proceed with caution on the liquids.
