Couscous Fruit Salad


Eating healthy becomes easier when you have fun, new ways of mixing foods in recipes. Plain fruits and vegetables can become boring quickly; by incorporating them into new recipes, you keep eating healthy fresh and exciting. I constantly look for new recipes for this reason. This one in particular adds flavors to fruit and couscous to give an exciting finished product. It is also a healthy heart recipe, which is most appropriate for the month of February. 

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked whole-wheat couscous
1 cup chopped nectarine
1 cup mixed fresh berries, like blueberries and raspberries

Cooking Instructions
Whisk oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooked couscous, nectarines, and berries; gently toss to combine.
