  • Never tasted this with cranberries. Can’t say I’d add cranberries or cranberry sauce on this but looks yum!

  • This looks absolutely delicious and perfect for summer. I love all the colour! You could even do it with store bought kebabs to save time too. It’s a great idea, but sadly the fuss pots in my family probably wouldn’t buy it. My husband won’t even it salad, so unfortunately I probably won’t get to try it.

  • This dish isnperfect for summer. I love all the ingredients, only thing I would change is the chicken tenders for chicken breast but that is just a personal choice. I love that this dish has a variety of flavours and textures and when served up loooks like it is full of colour.

  • I will absolutely try this. I’ve just bought a bag of couscous and have been hunting for some summery, fresh recipes. I’m trying to give the Mediterranean diet a whirl, see if it can get me off the carbs for a little bit. And love a good chickpea recipe! Shawarma soup was on the menu tonight and it was excellent

  • My whole family love chicken skewers so I know those would be a hit and the salad looks pretty amazing too. Unfortunately nobody in my family likes feta apart from me so maybe I could leave that out or substitute with a different type of cheese to keep everyone happy. :)

    • I absolutely adore eating feta cheese; but when a recipe has an ingredient or cheese I do not like; I simply substitute it with a cheese I do like to eat. In fact; I quite often buy a variety of different cheese when on special and swap it out with cheese in recipes.

  • I absolutely love the look of this dish and this recipe looks so healthy and so good to eat. This is a recipe and dish that would be so good to serve at a weekend get together for family and friends. This dish has a big wow factor and would look great on a table.
