| Author Notes: | Couscous is made from semolina and is a substitute for rice or pasta. It's also available as whole wheat couscous, although the flavor is quite different. The toasty hot pecans with fresh oranges, tart cranberries and spinach highlight this incredible salad that takes minutes to prepare. |
