Ingredients

    4 c. prepared Whole durum couscous
    1 c. cucumber
    1c. tomato
    1/2 c. green onion
    2 T. Flat leaf parsley-fresh
    Lemon Juice- approx 1 oz.
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil- 3 T
    Salt
    White Pepper

Directions

Prepare couscous according to pkg. directions, enough to yield 4 cooked cups.

In meantime, seed and chop cucumber, and tomatoes, enough to yield one cup of each.

Dice green onions-both white and green sections enough to yield 1/2 c.

Chop flat leaf parsley- to taste, I usually add 2 T.

Place veggie mixture in bowl and add lemon juice and olive oil.

After couscous is done, cool completely before adding to veggies. I use the freezer for a quick chill method.

Mix all ingrediants together and add salt and pepper to taste, it does not take too much. You can also add more lemon juice, or olive oil to taste.

Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 min. and then move to refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
