Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It's not something I would make again.

This salad is very time-consuming to make. I wouldn't recommend it for a weeknight meal.

I found the couscous to be a bit dry. I would add a little more liquid to the salad next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this salad. The dried fruit and nuts add a nice touch of crunch.

This couscous salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The couscous is fluffy and light, while the vegetables are crisp and flavorful. The dressing is a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
