FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Pour the couscous into a bowl, cover it with cold water (1 part couscous = 1 part water).
  Leave it for half an hour, occasionally fluffing the grains with a fork to aerate them.
• 2.   Meanwhile, wash the tomatoes, remove the seeds (or not). Peel the cucumber. Cut them into small cubes. Peel the onions and finely slice them.
• 3.   When the water has been completely absorbed by the couscous, sprinkle it with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix with a fork.
• 4.   Add the vegetables to the couscous, drizzle with olive oil, and mix.
• 5.   Finely chop the herbs and add them to the salad, mix well. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Notes & Suggestions

• Like rice or pasta salad, this tabouleh can also be enjoyed warm. In this case, cook the couscous using boiling water, let it swell for a few minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
  Feel free to add chicken, diced ham or hard-boiled eggs, soaked raisins, etc.
