Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups (220 grams) Israeli or other large couscous
Salt
3 cups of finely chopped parsley and mint leaves
1 large garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 lemons
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the couscous and stir until it turns a deep golden brown and smells toasted.
  • Add 2 3/4 cups of water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until all the water has been absorbed, 10 to 14 minutes. Let cool.
  • Stir the remaining olive oil into the couscous. Add the parsley and mint, garlic, onion, tomatoes and the finely grated zest of one lemon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the juice of both lemons, or to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this salad was actually really good! The dressing is what really makes it.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the dressing.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.
