Savory Couscous Tabbouleh image

A variant on traditional bulgur tabbouleh. Great to serve at potlucks because it can be served cold or warm! Even better left over! The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. My kids loved the couscous, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!
