  1. Really enjoyed the blend of flavours here. I didn't have any sage so thought basil would work well and it did. I reduced the oil to 3tsp based on a previous review and the dressing was lovely. Thanks for a keeper!
     
  2. Very yummy and with a fresh taste because of all the raw veggies. I omitted the fresh sage cause I didn't have it. I also omitted the lemon zest. I used 1 tomato, diced. I didn't use all the dressing cause my couscous seemed to have too much chicken stock. Thanks Wicked Cook :) Made for Zaar Star Game
     
  3. A taste salad. This the first time I have seen sage used with couscous and it was a nice change of pace that blend well with the lemon. Made as written and felt it would have benefited form some feta as suggested in the description as an option add on.
     
  4. This was very easy and really tasty. I added a bit more lemon, a bit less oil. I had feta cheese, but it looked like it was no good any more so I couldn't use it. Instead of chicken broth I used veggie broth cause we are vegetarians. Thanks for this easy meal, I would make this again:D
     
  5. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ! Nice quick, and easy to prepare and make. Loved the lemon flavor, great flavoring too. I made no adjustments here and will make again. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

  1. Wordeful, easy and healthy! I used vegetable instead of chicken broth and dried sage instead of fresh. Lovely salad, that I had as lunch at work. A nice change from the sandwich and green salads that I usually eat. Thanks for sharing! Made it for the market tag!
     
  2. Couscous is a long time favorite with me both for flavor and ease, so I'm always looking for new ways to serve it. Drawn to this recipe by the use of fresh sage and boy it was a treat. The sage blended so well with the garlic and lemon and was a refreshing change from my usual basil, oregano or thyme. The salad was well balanced in the textures as well, with a nice mix of crunch and softness. I made two smaller changes to suit my pantry; using Campari tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes and cutting them into sixths and reducing the couscous a bit to make a three point (ww) serving of whole wheat couscous. Looking forward to enjoying the leftovers tomorrow. Made for Potluck Tag.
