    I only had 1 can of black beans so I subbed in 1 can of red kidney beans. Also didn't have broth so used water instead. I was shocked how much this made--it's just me in the house! I added extra cumin, pepper and salt. needs a bit more flavoring, might add more lime tomorrow. - 5/31/10

    I made this to take to a dinner this evening, it was quick and easy to prepare. I think it is very good. I'm vegan so used vegetable broth. It is good hot or cold. I will for sure make it again. - 2/6/10

    This was delicious! It was my first time cooking couscous. I also used water instead of broth. I know I will be making this often. - 2/28/13

    Very pretty and tasty. I made a half recipe. I recommend making double the dressing and setting half aside. Then you can add a bit more at the end if it needs it. The dressing will keep well and be good on other things so it won't go to waste. - 5/19/11

    I loved this and so did my husband. It was simple, tasty and made a lot. I also used vegetable broth and left out the corn to make it Eat-to-Live friendly. - 5/4/11
