Nice and fresh!! I did only use half the oil and found it to be perfect, probably due to the fact I always cook Israeli Couscous with a bit more stock and about 15 minutes until all is absorbed and it still has a little bite to it (just my preference. I paired it with her marmaletta sauce over pork loin chops and made some glazed baby carrots & homemade pumpernickel bread!! What a great tasting healthy meal!! :

Absolutely love this. Goes with so many things as a side dish and its so simple. Keeps well in the fridge as leftovers for lunch the next day. The only changes I make to the original recipe is less olive oil (only 1/8 cup instead of 1/4 added after cooking couscous, and added a bit more cranberries. I was concerned that that much lemon, mint, and basil would be overpowering, but its not. Its bright, fresh, and light with an excellent balance of flavors. The perfect summer side dish to just about everything.

I made this tonight and it was just fabulous. So simple yet filled with an abundance of flavor. I used parsley instead of basil and mint as that's what I had on hand and I added in some chickpeas as well and I think it worked just as well. A definite must do side dish for any mediterranean inspired meal.

This is probably one of the best things I have ever tasted...unbelievably fantastic!!! I'll be bringing it everywhere I go this summer!! I added about 1/4 cup more cranberries, and skipped the nuts...I don't think I'd like the texture. Other than that, I made it exactely as the recipe says. Thanks, Giada!!!

This is delicious. It kinda has to grow on you because it has such an unusual flavor. I made it exactly as the recipe calls for with two minor adjustments per other reviewers' suggestion. One, I added the craisins to the cous cous while it was still hot. The second change I made was to put a little less of the fresh herbs and chopped them very fine. We had it room temperature with dinner last night, and I just had some cold leftovers for lunch. Loved it both ways.

I really love this salad. I had never had Israeli Couscous before, and this was a nice introduction recipe. I have made it twice now, and I like it better if you revive the dried cranberries in hot water first, then drain. I mix the warm cranberries into the couscous as its cooling. The consistency is much better, in my opinion. Either way, the salad is really good.

Awesome! One of the best things I have made! I took the advice from some of the reviews and added more dried cranberries. Loved having the leftovers for lunch and this might be my new pot luck dish!
