I'll cut back the balsamic a tad next time.

flavorful and fresh tasting! it did seem heavy on the mustard though, so i added a little bit of honey to even it out. this is a great summer side dish!

I've made this recipe numerous times and get rave reviews. I always double recipe and use dried cranberries. I've also made it using raspberry balsamic vinegar and honey Dijon mustard. My family loves this salad.

What a delightful blend of flavor, texture and color! I used whole wheat couscous and dried cranberries instead of cherries (what I had in my pantry). I love the dressing and the combination of flavors - the pine nuts, cranberries, crunchy veggies - it's great. I served it as a side dish to "Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets" from this site. Highly recommmend this salad!

My husband loved this. I didn't care for it. I thought the mustard taste was a wee bit overpowering and it clashed with the cherries, badly. Since hubby loved it I will try again, but using dried sweet cherries instead of dried sour cherries. I think they might go better with the dressing.

Do not serve this right away! Make in the morning for a dinner meal, or better yet, make it the day before. Otherwise you taste too much vinegar. So delicious, though, I could have eaten the entire bowl! I doubled the recipe and used a large carrot as well as a large cucumber, so didn't measure. Also followed another's suggestion to soften the cherries. I cut the cherries to have smaller pieces, which worked out better with my small diced veggies. You could make this with any dried fruit you had on hand - next time I'll try apricots.

I brought this salad to an office pot luck and got rave reviews. It's easy and quick to make. I made everything the night before and just mixed it together right before serving.

I made this with the Moroccan Spiced Salmon from this site as another reviewer did and found they went well together. I did use packaged seasoned couscous with pine nuts to save time. Would make again.

My boyfriend and I have been trying to add different grains to our menu, but our first couscous attempt was a little bland - he described it as sawdust. I tried this even though I wasn't sure about the blend of flavors. We both thought it was great and he gladly took leftovers for lunch the next day! I used orange-flavored Craisins because it was what I had. I was worried they might be too sweet, but they were not. I did pre-plump them as was suggested. Light and tasty summer recipe. Will definitely make again.

This was better the next day after the flavors had blended. The only changes made were to use a whole carrot, a whole cucumber and added 1/2 a red bell pepper and 1/2 a green bell pepper. Will definitly make this aging.

This was very good! I was making 'Cold Roasted Moroccan Salmon' from this web site and wanted a side that would work well with it. This couscous fit the bill! I used dried cranberries instead of cherries, because that was what I had. The only thing I added was a drizzle of lemon juice over the top before I served it. Delicious!

Very quick and easy. Try using whole wheat couscous for a light and delicous meal or side.
