This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The salad was bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I've made this salad a few times now and I'm always disappointed. The couscous is always dry and the dressing is too oily. I won't be making this again.

This was a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I didn't have any dried cherries so I used raisins instead and they worked just fine.
