- 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.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
