I only had a quick taste as I made this for the DM and DS but we had a few hiccups in that I didn't have any capsicum/bell pepper so deseeded half a tomato and used the flesh to replace but otherwise made as directed making the couscous mix int he morning and pouring the dressing over just before serving. Thank you Kelly in TO, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

If there was a way to give this delicious sald a higher score, I would. I think it is one of the best things I have ever made. I could have eaten the whole thing myself, it was amzing. Made exactly as directions stated, did not change a single thing. I am making it again tomorrow when we have dinner with my parents. Thanks for such a outstanding recipe :)
