This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less honey in the dressing next time.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. Next time I'll cook it for less time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I added some chopped red onion and feta cheese to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of honey mustard, so I substituted a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly in this salad.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind. The combination of flavors and textures is amazing. The chicken is perfectly cooked and the honey mustard dressing is tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this salad again.
