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 |
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped |
1/2 cucumber, diced |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/2 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:
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.
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.
