I'm allergic to zucchini, so I used yellow squash instead. It worked great!

I added some crumbled feta cheese to the couscous before serving. It added a nice salty flavor.

I'm not a big fan of cherry tomatoes, so I used grape tomatoes instead. They worked just as well.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my couscous turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.
