Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Couscous

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pearl couscous and stir for about 2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  2. 2

    Cook the Couscous

    Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the couscous is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the couscous is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion, and finely chop the parsley.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine the Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Combining Everything

  1. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled couscous, chopped vegetables, and parsley. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
