Couscous Fruit Salad

Couscous Fruit Salad
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 5 green onions, white parts only, chopped, or more to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 6 dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 (6 ounce) package sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup shelled peanuts
  • 1 1/2 cups pearl (Israeli) couscous
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
  • 1 mango, peeled and chopped


  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add water to onion mixture and bring to a boil.
  2. Stir dates, cranberries, raisins, and peanuts into onion mixture and bring to a boil again. Add couscous and cilantro to dried fruit-onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until water is mostly absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
