I made this salad to serve for Shabbos lunch; I made it late Thursday night, leaving out the tomatoes and almonds (I added those at serving time.). I had an 8.8 ounce package of whole wheat couscous, so I used that. I added between 1/2-1 teaspoon of seasoned salt. With yellow cherry tomatoes, red pepper, the onion & cranberries, this was beautiful in a glass bowl! It's also delicious! Note that for the amount of couscous I used, it made 10-12 servings (rather than the 4-6 listed).
