Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups uncooked couscous
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups boiling water
6 green onions, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint or 1 tablespoon dried mint
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons, juice of
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Add the couscous, salt, and boiling water to a large mixing bowl.
  • Cover bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork; all liquid should be asborbed; let cool to room temperature (I put the couscous in the frig to chill a little).
  • Once the couscous is at room temperature, add the chopped green onion, cucumber, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, parsley, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss salad gently.
  • It is recommended that if you make this salad ahead of time, add the olive oil and lemon juice right before ready to serve.
