This salad was a disappointment. The flavors didn't go well together, and the couscous was mushy.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pineapple next time.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I really liked this salad. The flavors were well-balanced, and the pineapple wasn't overpowering.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a nice change from the usual ham and cheese sandwich.
