I loved the simplicity of this (which is how I think couscous should be treated) no changes to an excellent recipe I'm keen to make again soon.

I just LOVED this! I halved the recipe which worked fine and served it along side a pepper seared salmon. A perfect match! I will be making this again for sure and it will be a good side dish to many types of main dishes. The flavours are there but do not overpower, I especially love the wine vinegar, and the garlic and the tomoatoes - heck - I liked it all!

I scaled this back for 3 and it was the perfect amount for the 3 of us. It is amazing the amount of flavour that the dressing gives the couscous and the tomatoes. Thoroughly enjoyed by us all, thank you nemokitty, made for Make My Recipes - Spring Edition.
