Name: Couscous with Clementines, Chickpeas, Olives, and Dates
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups low-salt chicken broth; 1 10-ounce package plain couscous (about 1 2/3 cups); 1 teaspoon salt; 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; 3 clementines; 1 15-ounce can chickpeas; 12 large green olives (such as Cerignola), pitted, quartered lengthwise; 6 Medjool dates, pitted, diced; 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Here's a great accompaniment for roast chicken or the perfect side dish to bring to a potluck feast.

Test-kitchen tip:

To remove any remaining bitter white pith from clementine peel, lay the peel, orange side down, on a work surface and use a small sharp knife to cut off any pith.
