Spicy, summery pasta salad made with cucumber, lemon, mint, basil, and jalapeno. This is my interpretation of a spicy tabbouleh dish from ‘Pasta & Co.’
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups couscous
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
- ½ cucumber, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup chopped green onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand until the couscous absorbs the water entirely, about 10 minutes; fluff with a fork.
Step 2
While the couscous soaks, stir the feta cheese, jalapeno pepper, cucumber, garlic, green onion, mint, basil, cilantro, parsley, cumin, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the prepared couscous and mix well.
