    My family enjoyed this dish quite a bit... I do prefer the pearl couscous...we just prefer that texture more. Nice flavor and grilling the veggies makes them delicious!

    Excellent salad for summer veggies! And the dressing is now my go-to dressing. No more bottled supermarket dressings for me. A good balsamic and fresh lemon juice are the key to really make this dressing sing.

    Followed the recipe completely - loved it. We ate it as a main entree (no leftovers between the 2 of us! - next time we'll add some tofu to it for protein. Great flavors, and easy to make.

    This is an incredible recipe! So tasty! Israeli couscous can be hard to find and expensive depending on the store. I found it at Trader Joe's and it was only a few dollars. The recipe is also fantastic with orzo.

    Just made it and threw in a handful of crumbled Feta. It's over the top!

    I loved it. I even added some red pepper flakes to bring up the heat a little.

    I have made this recipe many many times and it is always an adventure. I read the reviews this time because I didn't have any couscous and wanted to use Quinoa and wanted to see if anyone had tried that. I see there's been some issue with the Israeli Couscous (hehe-- I bet you could use any grain you want--I'm using the Quinoa today and am sure it will wonderful. I have added grilled eggplant and always add some feta. I am also going to try the almonds-a suggestion from the last reviewer. Like I tell all my friends when I pass along a recipe--it's only a guide--do your own thing!

    Made this for the first time to take to an informal dinner party. I've never used Israeli couscous before and absolutely loved the texture and golden color after toasting. I'm not a fan of red bell peppers or yellow summer squash so I used sundried tomatoes and a bit more zucchini. I also added sliced spicy/sweet almonds to give it crunch. The fresh basil made the whole salad pop. Everyone loved it! I think adding goat, feta or gorgonzola cheese would be fabulous as well.
