Directions:
Saute couscous in olive oil in a large saucepan until fragrant and slightly tinged brown (about 5 minutes). Add chicken broth to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until broth is mostly absorbed.
Pour couscous into serving bowl. Mix in cranberries, toasted almonds, chopped Granny Smith apple, and herbs and mix well.

Make vinaigrette by putting all ingredients into a screw-top jar and then shake well to combine. Pour vinaigrette over couscous mixture and stir to break up clumps of couscous. Serve at room temperature or cold..
