I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water when I cooked the couscous.

This salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this salad. The other ingredients balanced out the tartness of the cranberries perfectly.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet cranberries, savory couscous, and crunchy walnuts was a winner. I'll definitely be making this again.
