  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!

  Swapped the salad leaves for a handful of fresh basil instead which I tore up and forked through. Made it for a group of friends as part of a buffet and they, and my husband who has always said he disliked pesto, really loved it. I'm making it again this morning!

  i made this for a bbq yesterday. i didnt add the 2nd lot of pesto, there was enough already and i also mixed through torn basil leaves instead of rocket. i used those teeny tiny tomatoes, just cos they looked novel and even the most carnivorous party guests said they liked it.

  Really lovely lunch dish - made it with roasted vegetable couscous from a pack (because that was all I had) and it was delicious.
