Trader Joe's Couscous Touble Salad

Jay found this recipe on the back of a Trader Joe's Couscous box - it is summertime salad perfection.


Mix 1/2 cup boiling water with 1 1/4 cup dry couscous. Add 6 Tablespoons olive oil and 1/3 cup lemon juice. Stir well. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork. Add 1 diced tomato, 1/2 diced green pepper, 1/2 chopped onion, 4 Tablespoons parsley and 1 Tablespoon mint. Salt and pepper to your taste. Toss lightly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Makes 5 servings.
