I made this salad with quinoa instead of couscous and it was still delicious. It's a great way to change up the recipe.

This couscous salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of shrimp, mint, and lemon is so refreshing and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the toasted pine nuts, which added a nice crunch.
