This warm orange couscous salad is a unique and satisfying way to eat your veggies!

I love this meal. It’s simple, really tasty, and it’s how I like my salads… with carbs thrown in. This warm orange couscous salad has got warming spices like cinnamon and turmeric to give the couscous lots of flavor. And of course, the orange juice that you cook it in really brightens things up!

You might have seen this post on my Instagram account. I created this recipe for a sponsored post with Florida Orange Juice. Of course, you can use any kind of orange juice for this recipe, including freshly squeezed. But the kind in a jug is the most convenient!
