1 cup snow peas, trimmed |
6 small green onions, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons slivered almonds |
1 orange, peel and white pith removed, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces |
salt and pepper |
1 orange, juice and zest of |
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar) |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper |

1. Heat some olive oil in a small pot. Add the couscous and toast for 2 minutes. Add the broth and simmer, covered for about 8 to 10 minutes. Take pot off heat.
2. In a salad dressing shaker or a jar with a lid, add dressing ingredients and shake.
