Recipe: Couscous Salad with Vegetables (Tabbouleh)

Normally tabbouleh is a couscous salad with lots of parsley, which is dominant in this Arabic salad, but I made it more balanced so everyone can enjoy it. It can be served plain, on lettuce leaves, or with pita bread, and if you are not fasting you can add strips of roasted meat on top.

Ingredients

1 cup couscous (or bulgur)
2 tomatoes
4 green onions
10 parsley sprigs (you can use up to 2 bunches of parsley)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
salt
pepper

How to prepare couscous salad with vegetables (tabbouleh)

  1. Pour boiling water over the couscous (about 1 cup, the same one you used to measure the couscous), just enough to cover it completely, and let it sit for 5 minutes - the liquid should be fully absorbed. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and fluff it with a fork until the grains separate.
  2. Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seedy part. Finely chop the remaining pulp. Also finely chop the green onions and parsley.
  3. Add the chopped vegetables over the couscous, pour the remaining oil and lemon juice, add salt and pepper, and mix well.
