Ingredients
Salt and pepper - To taste
Ground coriander - 1/2 teaspoon
Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
Fresh mint - 1/4 cup, chopped
Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
Cherry tomatoes - 1 cup, halved
Cucumber - 1, diced
Red bell pepper - 1, diced
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Vegetable broth - 1 cup
Couscous - 1 cup
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and has absorbed the broth.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Add the diced red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh parsley, and fresh mint to the couscous.
Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture and toss until well combined.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
