  I love this. Simple to make yet makes all the difference to pork chops, grilled chicken and especially the barbeque.

  Lovely, flavoursome dish! I make this for lunch because it's quick to make the night before, healthy and very tasty the next day. I make it using green pesto but I don;t tend to add more pesto to the dressingbecause I find this overkill. A nice squeeze of lemon just before serving makes it very tasty though!! I make this all the time!

  Can't believe something that is so simple and takes so little time to prepare can turn out so tasty. Made this for the first time yesterday evening and will definitely be making it again. Delicious!

  Easy, quick, tasty recipe, didn't use pesto or lemon as don't like these flavours. Used balsamic vinegar and olive oil, which tasted great with the tomatoes. Great as a quick meal for one, will make it again soon.

  I used sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh and used the oil from the jar for the dressing. I felt there was too much lemon juice though, a squeeze is all it needs.

  Gah! Made schoolboy error and followed recipe ratio of water to cous cous as opposed to pack instructions. Made for very sloppy cous cous which killed the dish. Be warned. Flavour was good though!
