Ingredients

• Couscous:
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups pearl (Israeli) couscous
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup sunflower seed kernels
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• Vinaigrette:
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; stir couscous into boiling broth, reduce heat to low, and simmer until couscous is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain couscous of any broth that did not absorb while cooking.
