To make Vinaigrette:
Peel orange, grapefruit, lime and lemon. Cut each into segments over
a large stainless steel bowl to catch excess juices. Carefully dice
segments, cutting - not crushing them.
Add oil, vinegar, soy sauce and tabasco to fruit juices in bowl -
whisk to blend. Add peppercorns, ginger, cilantro, diced fruit and
stir to combine. Makes about 1 1/4 cups. Drizzle over couscous.
