Pas a pas

1
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Add the Israeli couscous to the boiling broth, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Do not overcook the couscous; it should be al dente.
3
Remove the couscous from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Uns 15 min

While the couscous cools, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Adjust seasoning to your preference.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled couscous, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh mint.
