    Made this for a Christmas side dish! It's seriously incredible! The combination of the mint and lemon and cranberries- an explosion of flavor in your mouth!!!

    Have received many compliments on this pasta salad when I've brought it to pot lucks. I cook the couscous in the stock according to the directions on the couscous box. I add a bit more of the dried cranberries and the toasted almonds because I think they make this dish special.

    I was really excited to make this salad because it looked interesting and tasty, but it just ended up being a waste of time - wasn't nearly good enough to warrant the time it takes to even make the salad. Ended up being an untasty mixture of ingredients - not flavorful at all! I will not be making this recipe again!!

    I made this salad again for a party last night. Everyone loved it! This salad is always a hit! I use orzo pasta and more cranberries than the recipe calls for. I am not sold on the almonds though. Sometimes I add them, sometimes I don't.

    I make this time and time again and it is always a hit. I use orzo instead of israeli couscous. I make this as a side dish for dinner, and I always have it at my parties. Even my boyfriend's friends (who are more into eating chips, dip, and pizza ask me to make this!!! If that's not a good reason to make it, I don't know what is.

    I made this dish when having a dinner party and it was so easy to make and they all loved it! There was so much flavor in the couscous itself but when you add all the other colorful ingredients it made is that much more amazing! It is good at any temp. and I ate it the next day for lunch. I am definitely going to make this dish again. It was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten/made Thanks Giada!!!!

    For a while now I've wanted to try this. It looked delicious, and the clash of flavors seemed interesting. All the good reviews made me even more excited, but... As the title said, it was a huge disappointment.

    The flavors were simple not meant to be together. The recipe calls for way too much lemon, basil, and mint. The original taste is okay I suppose, but not something I would want to make again. Especially since it has a non too pleasant after taste. This is my first try at a Food Network recipe, and I have to say, I'm not sure I want to try another.

    This is one of my favorite couscous recipes! It's absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I often make it on Monday and have it for lunch all week. I added diced chicken breasts to my version to round it out a bit more..
