This is yummy! It was a great change from our regular couscous. I loved the feta and the sun-dried tomato combination! Thanks for posting.

This is DELICIOUS!! I love this salad and eat it often, now. Just be very careful not to over cook the couscous or it will irreparably ruin the salad. The only thing I prefer different is instead of crumbled feta, I buy a block and cut it into cubes. I am a huge fan of feta, so I want to taste it more.
