Made with couscous, scallions, fresh herbs, crunchy almonds and a tangy-sweet apricot vinaigrette, it’s the perfect side dish for summer. It’s wonderfully light, takes mere minutes to make, travels well to a picnic or BBQ, and can be served warm or room temperature.

Ingredients

  • low sodium chicken or vegetable broth: 1.5 cup
  • unsalted butter: 1 Tbsp
  • couscous: 1 cup (1 10-ounce box)
  • apricot preserves: 6 Tbsp
  • olive oil: 4.5 Tbsp
  • white wine vinegar: 3 Tbsp
  • scallions: 2 piece (white and green parts, finely chopped)
  • parsley or mint: 2 Tbsp (chopped; fresh; optional)
  • almonds: 0.3 cup (sliced + salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste)
