Introduction

I got tired of trying to find bulger wheat in the store and tried a version of Tabouli using couscous. I thought it turned out pretty well. I got tired of trying to find bulger wheat in the store and tried a version of Tabouli using couscous. I thought it turned out pretty well.

Ingredients

    1 box of Near East Couscous
    1/2 cup each red and green peppers, cucumbers (peeled) and geen onions.
    1 cup chopped tomatoes
    3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (lite)
    juice of a large lemon
    1/4 cup minced fresh mint

Directions

Cook the couscous as directed with out adding the oil or salt. While it is cooking dice up the veggies in to small pieces. After the couscous is done add the oil, lemon juice and veggies with the couscous into a bowl, fluffing with a fork. Add the mint. I thought it could use a bit more mint because I love the taste but I made it for a group the first time so I played it safe.
