I'm allergic to cranberries. Can I substitute another dried fruit?

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked the couscous.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cranberries next time.

The couscous was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would reduce the cooking time by a few minutes next time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, so I substituted dried cherries instead. It turned out just as good!

This Israeli couscous was a hit at our dinner party! The combination of celery, scallions, and cranberries added a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish. The couscous itself was cooked perfectly and had a fluffy texture.
