  1. Outstanding! Easy to make, quick, and healthy - you can't beat that! I used fresh chopped parsley instead of the cilantro. This made 2 generous servings and we loved it - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2011 event, recommended by mersaydees
     
  2. This is my kind of dish. Love couscous -- love veggies! This is fast and tasty. Thanks, WiGal, for a new favorite. Made for Make My Recipe Reunion tag game.
     
  3. I made as directing just omitting the hot pepper sauce and this was the first time we have had couscous but it certainly won't be the last. I served it with The Flying Chef recipe recipe #351666. Thank you WiGal for a great simple and easy to make and tasty recipe.
     
  4. Five stars for a very quick, easy and healthy meal! I didn't have any onion powder, so I used some minced red onion, and instead of dried cilantro, I used fresh. Yummy! Thanks WiGal! Made for ZWT 4.
     
  5. This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the lemon juice as I am not a fan. I liked that it was cooked in the microwave. My kids weren't fond of it but hubby and I enjoyed it.
