Preparation Steps
Cook the Israeli couscous according to package directions, using vegetable broth instead of water. Drain any excess liquid and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked Israeli couscous, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and mint to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later.
