www.lechefswife.com

This Taboulé, or Couscous Salad is super simple to make, is full of healthy vegetables and stores very well in the fridge. The perfect side for a summer BBQ.

- Uncooked Couscous grains - Persian cucumbers - Red onion - Tomatoes - Italian flat parsley - Fresh mint - Lemon - Extra virgin olive oil - Balsamic vinegar - Harissa 

Ingredients

STEP 1

Cook the cous cous as per package instructions, fluff and then place in a big salad bowl in the fridge to chill. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill for a couple hours.

STEP 2

Dice the tomatoes, onions and peeled cucumbers into tiny squares. You do not want big chunks in this salad!

STEP 3

Chop the parsley. Remove the chilled salad bowl of couscous from the fridge and fold in the mixed vegetables and parsley.

STEP 4

Whisk together the cup of olive oil, harissa & balsamic vinegar in a separate bowl. If you don't have Harissa on hand, any red chili paste works very nicely for a little kick.
