Tabbouleh is a popular middle eastern salad made mostly of finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, fresh mint, onion, bulgur (or couscous), and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Place the couscous in a bowl, and pour hot vegetable broth over it. Cover with a tea cloth and tightly secure a lid or plate over it. Set aside for 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
In the meantime finely chop all your salad ingredients. Then, once the couscous is ready add the pressed garlic, lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions. Toss to combine or stir gently.
Leave at room temperature for a couple of hours, so that the couscous can continue to absorb extra moisture and swell.
When ready to eat, add olive oil, salt and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve with lettuce leaves (optional).
