This is really a great salad. I made as directed with the red bell pepper. The only changes I made were that I used a combination of grapefruit and orange juice and I used a chive-parsley combination for the herbs. I happened to have snow peas around so I did use those as well. Thanks for posting. I will consider making this without the chicken as a great carbo-veggie side in the future.

This is a great refreshing salad! I loved the bright colors (I used red bell pepper), the crunchy vegetables, the flavorful dressing, and the freshness that the parsley added. I've never made couscous before, and DH looked at it a little funny at first, but declared this a five star recipe. It will work real well for a summer time meal, and I also plan to make it for my next office pot luck, so I can share it with my co-workers. Thanks for posting this jewel.
