I usually make tabouli which calls for fresh parsley. I will try this but substitute parsley for the mint and use chopped scallions since I don't usually have red onions on hand. And a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Great summer recipe to use with the fresh garden tomatoes and cucumbers!

Incredible! 		Delicious! It is very difficult to eat just one serving. I also made it by substituting quinoa for the couscous and left out the mint. It was excellent!
