Disappointing I thought the couscous, fruit, and almonds were a great combination. As much as we wanted this to be good, it wasn't. It tasted overwhelmingly of cider vinegar, and the shallot seemed like a really odd addition. It seems I'm the only reviewer that didn't like it though, so maybe something went horribly wrong in our kitchen. Pros: Couscous and fruit together! Cons: Couscous and fruit with vinegar and shallots?

Good or Bad I find this recipe to be right in the middle. The combination of the couscous and fruit didn't seem to right for me but I may try this a few more times before I give up on it. Overall, right in the middle neither good nor bad.

Spectacular: easy and delicious, what more can you want! I had some mango that I added instead of nectarines, it was lovely. Thanks.
