Very flavorful! My husband and I both really enjoyed it. When mixing up the dressing, I was worried that there wouldn't be enough to cover all the couscous and veggies, but the flavor came through just perfectly, without dominating the salad. Thanks!

Easy to make and tasty. I used 1 can of black beans and cucumbers and the salad was equally good.

Truly original and truly delicious. This is one of the most colorful salads I have ever eaten. The glistening black beans looked great against the creamy white of the couscous, offset by the brilliant red of the pepper and the dark green of the cilantro. The yellow of the corn really stand out next to the beans. I only used one can of beans and this was a huge salad. It went quickly, it really complements the taste of grilled meat! Thanks Yooper, this is a winner!

This salad is great- wonderful mix of colour and flavour. I used only one can of beans and it was plenty. I also added 1 heaping tablespoon of Tex-Mex seasoning to give it lots of zing. Will definately make it again.
