No Cook Tabbouleh

Time: 54 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups quick-cooking couscous (I used whole wheat)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (or substitute the more traditional parsley)
• 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 3 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped (I used a mixture of orange and red)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• salt and pepper
• additional lemon juice

Directions

• 1 Stir together the (uncooked) couscous, olive oil and lemon juice in a very large bowl.
• 2 Let it rest at room temperature to soften and plump-en-up to an a texture like finely chopped nuts.
• 3 Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
• 4 Add more lemon juice to taste.
• 5 Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or so.
