Fruit Coucous with Honey Cinnamon Yogurt

This recipe puts a new spin on couscous, and it is incredibly simple to make. It’s also very healthy. Although everything in this class [Mediterranean Diet] was tasty, this was definitely the dish that everyone raved about. It has become a Marketing Department favorite, and was also taught at the St. Luke’s Women’s Breast Cancer Expo.

• 1 C fresh unsweetend orange juice
• ¼ C water
• 1 T sugar
