My friend Liliana left a bag of couscous at home. Inspired by the flavors of tabbouleh, I prepared this refreshing salad. It can incorporate, if desired, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce.

Steps

1 hour

1

Put the couscous in a glass or ceramic bowl, and toss with the salt and cumin. Mix together ¼ cup of the lemon juice and the water, and pour over the couscous. Let sit for 30 minutes, stirring the mixture from time to time to prevent it from lumping.
2

Cover with a plate, and microwave for one minute; carefully remove the plate. Stir.
3

Stir in the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil, and allow to cool. Toss with the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
