This salad is a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I always have some leftover turkey after Thanksgiving and Christmas, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind! The combination of flavors and textures is amazing. I especially love the sweetness of the dried cranberries and the crunch of the almonds.
