Ingredients
1 c. dry couscous
1 c. very cold water
Put couscous in water, let stand while you prepare other ingredients, about 10-15 minutes.
1 c. frozen peas, lightly cooked and chilled
1 green onion, sliced thinly (I use a lot more than one)
1/2 c. chopped Italian parsley
1/2 c. chopped cilantro (you can use 1 c. of either of these if you prefer, or regular parsley, too--I like using all cilantro)
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1 tsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Mix all ingredients well with a fork. Best to let rest a couple of hours for flavors to marry. Serve cold or at room temperature, both are great. For a more filling side dish, or for a main course, add a can of drained chick peas and/or cold grilled chicken.
