so delicious and light.. thought maybe quantities would be to much for me then I thought what the heck and did as the recipe said and shared it... loved by them also.. used parsley as ick to coriander..

Made this tonight minus almonds (didn't gave any) and substituted parsley for coriander as I don't like it. Was a huge hit and my new favourite salad!

Best recipe ever! Have used this many times and it's always a winner and so easy.

Great recipe. Everyone impressed. I've changed a few things the more I make it. I now use chicken or vege stock to boil the couscous in + parsley. Add diced red pepper & more parsley once cooled. And use the pre-made lite & free french dressing because I'm lazy.

Hi Debbie, Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear you had trouble with this recipe. If you want to have less couscous, reduce the amount to 1 cup. You can use any amount of coriander - I think the more fresh herbs, the better! Happy cooking!

I think you may need to clarify the Israeli Couscous Salad Recipe. The recipe calls for 2 cups of Israeli couscous and then says to cook following directions on packet. Well 2 cups of coucous cooks into 4 + cups. Way too much couscous for the quanities of other ingredients. Also a handful of coriander is a lot more than 2 tablespoons. My first disappointment in one of your recipes : ( Debbie Turpen, Cromwell
