I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much couscous.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices.

This salad is a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious!
