Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cranberries, apricots, and cherries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the couscous and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid until the couscous has absorbed all of the cooking liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Using a fork, fluff the couscous to break up any lumps. Add the almonds and hazelnuts and toss. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet until completely cooled, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the couscous to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
- Serving Suggestion: Drizzle the couscous with 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil for a moister texture.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the shallot and cold water. Set aside while you prepare the dressing .
- Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board and smash with the side of a knife. Sprinkle with the salt. With the blade edge of the knife facing away from you and nearly parallel to the cutting board, begin pressing against the garlic to create a paste with the salt.
- Add the garlic paste, capers, oregano, and white wine vinegar to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
- Drain the shallots, then mix into the dressing.
- Make the salad: Add the couscous to a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat. Gently fold in the figs, apricots, olives, and parsley. Dress with 1-2 more tablespoons of dressing and toss to coat.
- Just before serving, fold in the almonds. Serve with the remaining dressing alongside.
- Enjoy!
