This salad is not worth the effort. It's just a bunch of vegetables thrown together with no real flavor.

I found this recipe to be too bland. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it taste good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn. I always have extra corn after summer barbecues, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind. It's so light and refreshing, and the roasted corn adds a nice smoky flavor.
