Serving

3 cups (about 1 1/2 pints) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
2 kirby cucumbers, seeded, and diced
1 lemon, juiced
3 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups instant couscous ( a 10-oz box)
2 cups water
2 wide strips lemon zest

pinch cayenne
1/2 cup torn mint leaves, stems saved
1/2 cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley , stems saved
3 scallions (white and green), chopped

Directions:

Toss the tomatoes, cucumbers, and lemon juice in a bowl with 2 teaspoons of the salt. Set aside.
