I loved this salad - couldn't stop eating it! I realized the couscous I had was old, so I used quinoa instead, and the combination of textures was just fantastic. Of course, it takes longer to cook quinoa but is worth it - I would highly recommend it. Also, I used a little less oil than in the recipe and used cilantro instead of parsley. The dressing was quite good. Thanks for sharing.

This is a new favorite and I'm new to couscous as well. I added black beans and corn and added parmesan in place of the feta cheese. Make enough to have leftovers since the flavors mix and become more robust - we thought it was better the second day!

Really enjoyed this!!! It was so easy & you can use different ingredients based on what you have on hand. I added cucumber and also substituted fresh basil for parsley since I didn't have any parsley on hand. A little of the dressing goes a long way, there is so much flavor in this meal as it is, you really don't need much of the dressing. Thanks!

Love this recipe! Have made it 4 times now, perfect every time. I also add chopped black olives, a little cilantro and slivered almonds - great!

I made this for my bunco group and it was a hit. I don't really care for peppers and yet I still like it. I think it is because the dressing balances the pepper flavor out.

I'll admit I was skeptical since the smell of apple cider vineget makes me gag and I don't like dijon mustard, but that was darn good & VERY different!

Absolutely fantastic! My husband, who basically won't eat anything that even resembles a vegetable or looks like it contains any, loved this! And it's so easy to make, my 2 year old helped me. This has her seal of approval too! I found that out when I caught her with a chair in the kitchen eating the salad straight out of the bowl! I used some of the suggestions from others: garlic and oil flavored couscous, canned tomatoes, and a frozen green/red bell pepper and onion mix. Very easy and very yummy...I'll be making this again.

I have made this salad for every occasion, every time of the year and it's a big hit! As a time saver, I use a can of drained diced tomatoes and chopped, frozen green, yellow, and red peppers.

I made this salad for a party, half of it got eaten. I thought it was OK. I will probably make it again ... maybe change something, but I'm not sure yet.

This was very delicious. I made it just as the recipe was written and it turned out great. We'll definitely make this again! -- And we have and we love it more and more each time! I up my original rating from 4 to 5 stars.

I made this for my mom on Mother's Day and everyone really enjoyed it. Also easy to make, I left out the bell peppers since I don't care for them.

I thought this recipe was fantastic!! I used crumbled goat cheese on hand.....very pleased with the results! Can't wait to make again! 7.20.06-Just want to add that I have made this recipe about a dozen times! I actually double the dressing portion and use it for marinading chicken and pork for grilling. Love, love, love!

I'm sorry we did not like this at all. We can't put our finger on it but it just wasn't right. The first couple of bites were good, than it was like you just got sick of eating it or something. I won't make this again.

I copied this recipe several years ago, and have taken it to every holiday and covered dish event since. I do a little less couscous and add some diced cucumber.

I made this for a SuperBowl party and people enjoyed it. Probably is best as a summer dish? Nice and light, very colorful, and holds up well. Next time I am going to try using a flavored couscous (maybe garlic and herb?). A touch bland for my taste, but extra salt and pepper on my own serving made it yummy. Will definitely make again.

This was OK but maybe it's because I'm new to the couscous taste. I think I would have enjoyed plain shrimp salad better.
