i made this the day before to let the flavors blend w/ homemade chix broth. i added some veggies(more cukes and black olives per reviews). i ended up adding a splash of red wine vinegar. it was very light and refreshing paired w/ rich moussaka.

I made this for a dinner with friends and everyone LOVED it! It was a huge hit. My only suggestion is that you really have to let it sit for a while so that the flavours have the time to blend. Overall though, it was a success!

Delicious. I added 2 diced tomatoes, about 2T crumbled feta, 1t garlic powder, and 2 English cucumbers (the long skinny ones without seeds). I used the fresh basil, but did not have access to parsley (well, I could get curly but I'd don't like to use that one in recipes. . .I prefer flat leaf). I used 2 lemons, but still didn't have enough juice so I added 1/2 of a lime. My husband and I love it. We'll see what the kids think tonight--that's the true test of a recipe's success in our home!

I made this today for lunch guests and we all loved it! In fact, my guests asked for the recipe. I accidentally left out the basil and used Orzo instead of couscous- turned out great!

This salad was great! I added tomato, feta, and pine nuts to mine and skipped the lettuce. Next time I think I'll add fresh spinach too. You can be very creative and add whatever you like but the basic recipe is great!

Delicious salad, very easy. Excellent veggie to cous cous ratio. So fast, and simple to make, and very healthy. I gave it 4/5 only because I felt like it needed some extras, like feta cheese, and some more veggie variety, like peppers. Very good as is, but perfect 5 with some minor tweaks.

This is an EXCELLENT recipe in every way; easy to prepare and scrumptious! This recipe can be modified very easily if you want to change it up a little. I followed another reveiwer's suggestion and used one box of Near East couscous but instead of plain I used toasted pine nut and Athenos crumbled feta cheese with basil and tomato. I also used grape tomatoes and just cut them in half.

First, made it as is and found there was too much lemon and not enough vegetables. Second go around I made these changes: Cut lemon juice to 1/3cup and made up the difference in liquid with Olive Oil. Then I added some celery and tomatoes (would also be a great chance to use some zucchini!). The ratio of veggies to couscous was MUCH better and the lemon was a compliment instead of overpowering. I served this with grilled chicken which everyone loved but it would also go great with some grilled salmon. With the changes, it makes a good, refreshing summer dish.

Delicious!! The only changes I made were to add some garlic (which I blended with the lemon juice and olive oil to make a dressing) and some Mediterranean herb-flavored feta cheese. It was sooo good! I was skeptical that these flavors would all work together but I was very pleasantly surprised. I served this with Sean's Falafel and Cucumber Sauce from this site and it made a great, healthy, flavorful meal. I will definitely make this again.

This was very tasty, we served it with Kibbeh (also got the recipe from allrecipes) and the flavors blended so well together. I only had dried herbs so I added them and part of the lemon juice to the cooking water for the couscous. I also used almost a whole english cucumber (didn't need to seed it) and substituted red onion for some color and added about a cup of frozen sweet corn kernals (I'd add even more next time, we all thought the corn added a lot to the recipe). I think this would be great with fresh tomatoes also. Thanks for the recipe, I have a feeling it's one we'll use often!

Made the recipe as written and it was pretty darn good. Simple to make, nice fresh taste. I would sprinkle a little extra lemon juice on it before eating just to freshen it, but it kept well in the fridge for a couple of days. Could easily be a five star by adding some other flavors...be creative!

Very good and easy! I used less lemon juice and added in chopped celery, petite diced tomatoes(rinsed), and a can of sliced black olives. This recipe is a winner!

This was a good zesty salad, but a little dry after sitting in the fridge for a few hours. Needs more liquid next time.
