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.

Remove the couscous from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Aşçının notu: Cooling prevents the vegetables from wilting when mixed.

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.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
