This salad is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to make it taste good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out too dry. I think I should have added more dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind! The flavors were so well-balanced and the grapes added a nice sweetness.

This was a quick and easy recipe that turned out great! I used dried cranberries instead of grapes and it was still delicious.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by using less cayenne pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would recommend it to others.
