The couscous was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add a little more broth or water next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The whole wheat couscous had a nutty flavor that paired well with the lemon and herbs. I'll definitely be making this again.
