Couscous Herb Salad

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups couscous
• 1 3/4 cups hot vegetable stock
• 1 cup chopped parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• Salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Steam the couscous

   Pour the hot stock over the couscous, cover, and let it sit 5 minutes. Fluff thoroughly with a fork so it stays light.

2. Cool it down

   Spread the couscous on a tray to cool quickly and keep the grains separate.

3. Make the dressing

   Whisk the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

4. Toss and serve

   Fold in the herbs, tomatoes, and dressing. Taste for lemon and salt, and serve.
