WOW - this is just outstanding!! Per your note in the intro I used couscous, and I left out the onion as I don't care for it, otherwise made just as specified. The orange juice gave the couscous a sweet flavor that was great with the fruit, and the tangy/savory dressing really brought this all together. I'm so glad I tried this - it's a keeper - thanks for posting!

This was great!!! Lots of fresh fruit and the dressing went with it perfectly. We used bulgur, but I think we'll try the couscous next time because the bulgur was still a bit hard by the time we ate it. I love how much fruit is in this. A great summer dish and certainly a keeper!
