Instructions
 

  • For the couscous: Combine the instant couscous, olive oil, lemon zest and orange zest in a large bowl. Pour the hot stock over the couscous. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb the liquid. Fluff with a fork. Add the dried cranberries, zucchini, chickpeas, parsley, mint and pine nuts and toss gently to combine.
