This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe based on what I had on hand. I used quinoa instead of couscous and dried cherries instead of cranberries. It still turned out delicious!

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The tangy cranberries, sweet oranges, and crunchy almonds complement each other perfectly. The couscous is cooked to perfection and absorbs all the delicious flavors of the dressing.
