It has a wonderful scent that is hard to resist as it's being tossed. Use just the slightest touch of your favourite sea salt to enhance the flavours and reserve a little of the shrimp, almonds, and mandarin for garnishing the salad before presentation.

My mother absolutely loved the recipe and it even garnered a "This is pretty good" from my father, who never comments on food. The sweetness from the golden raisins and mandarin oranges blended beautifully with the earthy aroma of the cumin. This is a great salad to improvise upon; sliced kalamata olives or diced cucumbers are just two variations I considered. As a summer side dish this would work perfectly, but it was also quite filling served as a main course with steamed asparagus; definitely worth a try.

The dressing was just the right amount, most of it absorbed by the couscous, leaving the cumin distributed nicely over the ingredients. All in all, very good and satisfying.
