I’m trying to get my Mum healthy & strong as she’s due to have major surgery in the next couple of weeks. This is exactly the sort of thing that she’d like.
Great, healthy recipe! I love chicken wraps.
I love the combination of ingredients in this chicken wrap.

I am a huge fan of couscous! I make lots of cold salads with it, this looks excellent. Putting on my list of recipes to try.
What a delicious wrap! I love the addition of lemon.
I’ve never made a salad with couscous before. Had it for dinner.
This really looks amazing! As a vegetarian, I’d love to try adding something like tofu instead of the chicken. And maybe adding some cilantro– I wonder how that would taste? Regardless, this recipe really looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

I recently tried couscous for the first time, and loved it. I wanted to try it again this is a good way to do it.
WOW– incredible recipe! This is one that I would love to print out and keep. The only thing I would change is to use something like tofu or beans instead of the chicken, as I am a vegetarian. But other than that, I really can’t wait to make this!
I love couscous! I grew up with it but I don’t eat it as much now that I am grown. This recipe looks really good and perfect for those who are on diets.. (like myself…)
