Ingredients

1/2 cup Girard's® White Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

1 3/4 cups Israeli or pearl couscous

4 scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Zest of one orange

Directions

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the couscous, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring several times. Couscous should have increased in size and be tender to the bite. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again.
