Vegan Israeli Salad With Pearl Couscous Cucumbers And Parsley Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Looking for the perfect israeli couscous salad recipe? Try this simple vegan israeli salad with pearl couscous (also called israeli couscous), tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions, cucumbers and fresh parsley and lemon juice. It's a vegetarian recipe similar to the more familiar styles of middle eastern salads like tabbouleh, but not as overpowered with fresh herbs and, of course, israeli couscous has a very different texture than the bulgur wheat usually used in a traditional tabbouleh recipe. This israeli salad with pearl couscous recipe has plenty of vegetables in it and is dressed with a fresh lemon juice and olive oil dressing, with a but of red pepper flakes, parsley, and salt and pepper for seasoning. Fresh lemon juice instead of bottled will really serve you well in this recipe, since there's little added extra flavor and seasonings. Similarly, use a good quality olive oil to get the best flavor in this salad, and always use either sea salt or kosher salt instead of table salt to maximize flavors. And, be sure to use fresh cracked pepper for the best taste, particularly in simple recipes such as this one which rely on quality ingredients for the best flavor.
