The cumin was too strong. I would add a little cinnamon.

This was the best side dish I have ever made! The only problem I had was I could not stop eating it! I did cook the couscous with the orange juice and used a half a tsp. of cumin and a half a tsp. of cinnamon. When the dish was finished I poured a quarter cup of orange juice over it. Yummy!!!!

A good start, but the cumin did not work with this recipe. I put only half a teaspoon and it overpowered everything else. I left out the apricots and scallions but added two shredded carrots.

Simply delicious! Definitely prepare it using orange juice vs. water for more flavor. Like others, I cut the amount of cumin down to 1/2 tsp. and added 1/2 tsp. of curry powder. Instead of dried apricots I added an 11 oz. can of mandarin oranges. I did find it to be a bit dry so I did add a little more orange juice. What a quick and easy side dish that tastes like you spent hours! Tastes great room temp. or chilled - Thanks for a great recipe!

This was different and I liked it. I used dates instead of apricots because that is what I could find. I served it for 6 adults who had never had couscous. Three like it a lot and three did not care for it.

Easy, fast recipe, made it for a cookout. I actually did a spin on the orange juice idea and used a pink grapefruit tangerine juice cocktail that I had in the fridge, and added a little extra juice after mixing for moisture. Very tasty and well liked by guests and my pretty picky boyfriend!

I was so skeptical about this recipe. I am usually all about fresh fruit so I just didn't see how dried fruit and cumin was going to taste good. I am so glad I tried it, it tastes great! I wasn't able to find dried apricots so i used dried peaches and I used white grape raisins. The colours weren't as pretty but I loved it. I also squeezed an orange on top to moisten it. This is quick and easy, perfect!

This is an awesome dish! It's different - it's sweet and it's got that onion, too! I love this in the summer when I need a cold salad that everyone hasn't had before! Fantastic!
