Israeli Couscous Tabbouleh

This vibrant Israeli couscous tabbouleh is a refreshing vegan dish that offers a delightful twist on the traditional Levantine salad. By using toasted pearl couscous instead of bulgur wheat, the salad gains a wonderful chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the crunch of English cucumber and the sweetness of ripe cherry tomatoes. Zesty lemon and extra-virgin olive oil tie the flavours together, creating a bright, citrusy dressing that makes this dish sing.

Ideal as a light lunch or a sophisticated side for a summer barbecue, this healthy salad is remarkably simple to prepare. It is a fantastic option for meal prep as the flavours develop beautifully overnight in the fridge. Simply stir through the fresh flat-leaf parsley and mint just before serving to ensure the herbs remain bright and fragrant. This versatile recipe is sure to become a staple in your plant-based repertoire.
