  Very tasty and quick to make, I used rocket instead of watercress and it was still lovely, I liked the peppery-ness of the the rocket in it.

  Delicious and easy to put together the night before. This was a new combination of tastes for me, and I really enjoyed it - would definitely make again.

  Just had this for lunch and it was delicious. I forgot to buy couscous so used puy lentils instead cooked in a good vegetable stock and it worked brilliantly. I will definitely make it again and stick with the lentils. I didn't have red wine vinegar so used sherry vinegar instead, gorgeous. Avocado would work in this salad as well.

  So easy! Had some fresh mackerel to use - oven baked with basil and lemon juice, then added to this recipe. Used nearest ingredients that I had in the cupboard for a light and fresh but filling summer lunch.
