Couscous and Cherry Tomato Salad image

This is a wonderful side dish that me mum (my English mother-in-law) has prepared for us twice now upon visiting. Some of the last batch is still in the fridge as I write this, and I can't stop nibbling at it! I finally remembered to get the recipe this time.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used cucumbers instead. It was still really good!

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's easily adjustable.

This couscous salad is a delightful burst of flavors and textures. The sweetness of the cherry tomatoes and the tanginess of the dressing perfectly complement the nutty flavor of the couscous.
