Love this dish! My husband who is not a fan of couscous or cucumbers requests this dish on a regular basis. It is just that good. I will sometimes add a cup of cooked chopped chicken breast meat to the dish, and make a whole meal out of it. - 27 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I made this for dinner guests last evening. It was an excellent compliment to blackened tuna! Actually, I simplified the recipe further. I use Good Seasons Italian dressing (the kind made in it's own carafe.) Instead of oil/vinegar, I used Lime juice and olive oil. Just poured it over the couscous, and veggies and served it at room temperature. Guests raved! - 19 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
So good! I used quinoa instead or orzo or couscous and added in shrimp and spinach. - 19 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
