My daughter found this recipe when she went "searching" and we tried it a couple weekends ago - FANTASTIC salad, so tasty, and the leftovers kept well for 2 days as we ate it for our lunches. Great flavors, and the dressing is minimal and not overpowering - perfection! Thank you so much for giving us a recipe we will make over and over again!!
PS - yes, the de-seeding is key to keeping the salad from becoming soggy - it worked wonderfully.

I uploaded the picture for you, Efitobx - it's such a "pretty" salad, besides being so dang tasty we couldn't stop eating it...your dressing is perfect, as well as the combo of flavors - great recipe!

Bookmarked, saved, am soooo happy i found this recipe - a wonderful combination especially for summer. thank you for sharing. i use couscous quite a bit, for warm and cold dishes, and this salad with is's dressing i've never seen (or eaten) before! pity i cannot get the roasted garlic chicken broth here (germany). do you think it will be the same with regular chicken broth (the best, naturally :-) and my own toasted garlic? i'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
thank you,
Renate
