• 1 1/3 cups water
• 1 cup couscous, uncooked
• 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar or 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1. Place water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Stir in couscous and cover then remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Fluff with a fork then recover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
4. In a bowl, combine the oranges, peas, almonds, onion and couscous.
5. In a jar with a tight lid, combine the vinegar, oil, sugar, salt and hot pepper sauce then shake well.
6. Pour dressing over couscous mixture and toss to coat.
