This recipe is a fail. The bison was overcooked and the couscous salad was watery.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kabobs were tough and my couscous salad was bland.

The bison was a bit dry, but the couscous salad was excellent.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder in the marinade.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The bison is savory and slightly gamey, while the couscous salad is bright and tangy. It's a great meal for a special occasion.

I'm not usually a fan of bison, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the marinade really brought out the flavor. The couscous salad was also very good.
