    I made this for Cookbook Club. At first I was disappointed with the taste which was almost medicinal. I am glad I made it early in the day, because as time went on, it improved quite a bit. We liked it, but thought it might be better with real couscous. I don’t think it was enough of a hit for me to make it again, but it was a fine side dish —it is very vinegar forward, so pair it with something like beef. I think it would overwhelm anything light like fish or chicken.

    Very good - better than I expected and I'd say actually better the second day after the spices and seasoning had a chance to settle into the cauliflower.

    My husband and I both loved this and we were thinking of variations we could make in the future. I added about 1 cup of chickpeas and some baked chicken breast and we had six filling meals out of it. As mamacrumbcake recommended, taste and adjust seasonings and then I would recommend tasting and adjusting again for leftovers.

    This was a very nice salad. Though it was not difficult, it does take a little planning (soaking the scallions and cherries and roasting the almonds). The flavor had a good balance of sweet, tart, nutty, with a bit of heat. Do taste and adjust seasonings as instructed at the end of the recipe, so that the cauliflower is highly seasoned and well balanced.
