Measure water into 1 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on high 3 minutes, or until boiling. Stir in couscous, cover with plastic wrap and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.

Add mango, basil, chives, cumin, pine nuts and couscous; toss to combine. Pack mixture into six individual 1/2 cup molds.

Arrange arugula wagon-wheel fashion on six large plates. Unmold couscous in center of plate. Garnish with reserved orange sections. Drizzle with Citrus Vinaigrette.

CITRUS VINAIGRETTE:

Add oil, vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce to fruit juices in bowl; whisk to blend. Add peppercorns, ginger, cilantro, diced fruit and salt; stir to combine. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

Cream Of Carrot Soup

This recipe works well, be careful when cooking to avoid scorching (there is a lot of sugar in onions and carrots).If you use bullion cubes be careful of the salt, Sunny D makes an interesting change from real Orange juice.
