Couscous With Apples and Cranberries

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups couscous (Israeli / Middle Eastern)

1 large apple

1 cup dried cranberries

3/4 cup slivered almonds

4 springs (2-3 Tablespoons) chopped fresh rosemary

1 lemon

Preparation

Boil the couscous for about 5 minutes until al dente. Drain and put aside to cool. Drizzle a little olive oil on the couscous to keep it from sticking.

Toast the slivered almonds in a skillet until they turn light brown (few minutes). Put aside to cool.

Chop the apple into bite sized chunks and squirt a little lemon over them, so that they don't turn brown.

Putting It All Together

Combine the couscous, apple, cranberries, rosemary and almonds in a large bowl. Squirt the remaining lemon and toss gently. Chill until you are ready to serve. Yummy!

Happy Memorial Day!
