Vegan Couscous Salad image

This is a great couscous recipe with lots of vegetables. If you are not vegan, you can add some feta cheese to the recipe, but it tastes great without. I often make it for potlucks or parties.

This salad is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland, boring, and not worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out dry and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

The salad was easy to make and the ingredients were easy to find. However, I found the overall flavor to be a bit underwhelming.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tart for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice or adding a bit of honey to balance out the flavors.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I added some grilled chicken and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
