This salad is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I added some chopped cucumber and red onion to mine, and it was delicious.

I'm always looking for new and interesting salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The couscous is a great base, and the cranberries and feta add a nice touch of sweetness and saltiness. I also love the addition of the mint, which gives

This salad was a huge hit at my last party! The combination of the sweet cranberries, the tangy feta, and the nutty couscous was just perfect. I also loved the addition of the fresh mint, which added a nice pop of color and flavor.
