This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I added some chopped red onion and a squeeze of lemon juice, and I used a different type of cheese. It turned out great!

The couscous was a bit overcooked, but the flavors were still good. I would make it again, but I would cook the couscous for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The Israeli couscous was light and fluffy, and the black beans and tomatoes added a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
