Dilled Couscous Salad with Chicken
Another goodie from Epicurious though I changed it a little. Feel free to add in as many craisins as you like. I tend to like a bit more than called for.
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/4 cups couscous
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 scant cup olive oil
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons craisins
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Bring chicken broth and salt to boil.
Stir in couscous.
Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes.
Fluff with fork and cool slightly.
Combine orange juice, vinegar, oil and orange peel in large bowl.
Mix in couscous.
Refrigerate until well chilled.
Add chicken, green onions, currants and dill to couscous in bowl.
Season with salt and pepper and serve as is or over a bed of butter lettuce leaves.
