Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Summer Couscous Salad.
Step 1
To start, grab a small saucepan and warm up the chicken broth over medium heat until itâs just about to reach a boilâthis will set the stage for a deliciously fluffy couscous.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the couscous with the warm chicken broth and drizzle in two tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
Step 4
Next, add in the vibrant quartered cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped green onions, diced cucumber, fresh parsley, and a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about five minutes; this steaming process allows the couscous to soak up all those wonderful flavors.
Step 6
Once the time is up, remove the cover and fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grainsâthis is where the magic happens! Gently fold in the colorful vegetables, making sure theyâre evenly distributed throughout the couscous.
Step 7
Finally, season your dish with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to taste, and youâre ready to serve this delightful, fresh dish thatâs perfect for any occasion! Enjoy every bite!.
