    Made this TWICE and each time it was a hit with my family. I used half water and half chicken broth. I reduce the salt by half. I added some fresh chopped garlic and man oh man was it tasty!! This is a keeper!!!!!

    I usually don't care much for couscous, but this recipe is very good!

    I've had a similar salad from a local deli and thought " I could make this". Luckily, I found this recipe. It's even better. I used whole wheat couscous from Whole Foods to make it even healthier. Thanks Food Network!

    Tried this recipe today and am so happy that I did! So appropriate for the summertime. I made only 2 modifications: 1. did not add orange juice because I used the orange flavored cranberries from Trader Joes and 2. decreased amt of scallions because I did not want it to overwhelm the dish. The toasted walnuts are a must as well as the lemon juice. It's the lemon juice and parsley that make this dish fresh. Like another reviewer, I felt like I could not stop eating it once I started! Will be serving it with blackened red snapper and mango salsa. Can't wait to see the expression on my husband's face- he's gonna love it!

    The flavor and texture contrasts in this salad are perfect. It was good right after I prepared it last night but is even better today after sitting in the fridge over night.

    I did use slivered almonds because I couldn't imagine it with the walnuts, but after having tasted it, it would have been great with the walnuts as well.

    Regarding the couscous measurements, I have a bulk jar of couscous (not individual boxed servings and used 1 cup of couscous with 1 cup of boiling water and found it to be the perfect amount for this dish.

    I seriously can't stop eating this.

    This is such a great recipe! I make it at the beginning of the week and can take some for lunch everyday. This also works great for BBQs since you serve it at room temperature and don't have to worry about anything spoiling. I leave out the lemon because I feel it overpowers the other flavors and I also usually at least double the recipe so I can have it around for a while. Cheap, soooo easy, and tastes amazing every time you make it!!

    This was great! I used chicken broth over the couscous instead of water.
