Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cups water, plus more for soaking
8 ounces Israeli couscous
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Place red onion in a small bowl, and cover with water. Let soak 30 minutes; transfer to paper towels, and drain.
  • Lightly coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Add couscous; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt; cook until all water has been absorbed and couscous is al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine couscous, reserved red onion, parsley, mint, oil, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Serve, garnished with lemon wedges.
