I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious.

I wasn't sure how the couscous would hold up in this salad, but it was actually really good. It had a nice chewy texture that complemented the other ingredients well.

The dressing is a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding less chili powder.
