Ingredients

1 1/2 cup medium couscous
1 cup pearl couscous
Olive oil
1 compact cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3 Lebanese cucumbers (1 1/2 cups), diced
4 small tomatoes, seeds removed, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or more to taste
Salt and pepper from the mill

Preparation

Place the regular couscous in a saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Mix, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and pour into a bowl.
In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the pearl couscous followed by a thin drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Add 1 1/4 cups of water (or according to package directions) and mix. Cover, bring to a boil and mix. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is all absorbed and the couscous is cooked. Pour into a colander, rinse with cold water and add to the salad bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the salad bowl, season with salt and pepper then mix. Perfect to accompany your favorite grilled meats or as a summer dinner with a baguette and a fire cheese!

To help you make this recipe

Our sommeliers suggest

Pisoni Pradi Teroldego 2020

Trentin Haut-Adige, Italie

Produced by Azienda Agricola Fratelli Pisoni, this wine made from 100% Teroldego has soft tannins and a light body, with notes of red berries, licorice, and pepper. Fresh and energetic, it will accompany simple and delicious dishes like this salad. See the product

Saison, 6.6%

Microbrasserie Pie Braque

A classic seasonal beer, this Saguenay beer offers spicy aromas typical of the style. A nose of clove, pepper and lemon zest, emerging from a delicate and sustained foam, will intermingle with the fine herbs of the salad to accentuate its aromas. The lemony aromas of this beer will join the acidic flavours of the tomato to enhance it even more. A fresh pairing. See the product
