I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I used dried cranberries instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or tofu. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.

I was a bit skeptical about the raisins in this salad, but they actually work really well. They add a nice sweetness and chewiness that complements the other ingredients.

I love how easy this salad is to make. I always have couscous on hand, and the other ingredients are usually in my fridge or pantry. It's a great last-minute side dish or lunch option.

This couscous salad was a hit at my last potluck! It's so refreshing and flavorful, and the broccoli and raisins add a nice crunch and sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
