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.

Unmold couscous in center of plate. Garnish with reserved orange sections. Drizzle with Citrus Vinaigrette. CITRUS VINAIGRETTE: Peel orange, grapefruit, lime and lemon.
