I was very surprised that everyone really loved this recipe, since I dont make couscous very often, but it was so easy to make and had a great flavor, I used Ken's steak house brand greek salad dressing and it tasted great. I did wait until the last minute to add the feta since it does tend to get soggy if marinated too long. But otherwise a new favorite :)

Great for picnics or large gatherings. Made (for 50) the night before, left in fridge overnight and added salad dressing before serving. Brought this to my boyfriend's church picnic and two ppl asked for the recipe. :) Only changes would be to use English cukes (no seeds) and add more cherry tomatoes. I thought the feta was a little low but the bf loved the balance of grain, veggie and cheese. Will certainly make again. Enjoy!

I made this receipe with whole wheat couscous--Trader Joe's--and it was wonderful!! Healthy, more fiber than a pasta salad or even a rice salad. Great with the feta. Have made this with my own and with Paul Newman's Greek Dressing--both work well.

Made this for the 4th and no even tried it. What a shame! My husband and I loved it! I used flat leaf parsley and it had somewhat of a strong flavor. Think I will cut down on that next time. A nice change from the pasta salad etc.

Very good. A hit at 2 family gatherings. Also used bowtie pasta instead of couscous and added pepperoni chunks for a variation once. Everyone loved this also.

This was yummy and looked beautiful. Went great with shiskabobs. Added a few little extra seasonings.

Every time I take this to a cookout, people ask for the recipe. I love this easy and tasty recipe. I use the larger couscous (found in Whole Foods bulk section) and use Panera Bread's Greek Dressing. It is delicious! The kalamata olives and feta really enhance the flavor.

I used quinoa instead of couscous (a similar, yet more healthful substitution). The recipe seems to be lacking something in terms of seasoning. I added salt, pepper and Greek seasoning, but it still didn't have the Greek flavor I was hoping for. Maybe I'll try again with a different brand of Greek dressing and more calamata olives.

I was looking for something fairly simple to use up some couscous I had sitting around and this recipe did nicely. I made quite a few "amendments", mainly because I was making it for only myself and I also had spending limitations. I highly recommend this recipe - it tastes great - and it's not too often you get a good Greek meal.

I tried this out before making for our upcoming block party. I thought it was good, but nobody in my family cared for it - and most of them love couscous! Maybe it was the flavoring in the couscous...

This was a hit at my recent "Greek" dinner party. The few things I changed: 1 green pepper and less cucumber (< 1/2), dried parsley. I didn't measure the salad dressing, just drizzled and stirred until right texture. This salad is wonderful! I made a few couscous converts too! Thanks
