Using couscous instead of bulgur for tabbouleh really speeds up the process of making this colorful salad. Other quick-cooking grains, such as barley or quinoa, also work well. —Elodie Rosinovsky, Brighton, Massachusetts

Ingredients

3/4 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked couscous
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Lemon wedges, optional

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5-8 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine the beans, tomato and cucumber. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, herbs and seasonings. Drizzle over bean mixture. Add couscous; toss to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.

Health tip

Make this refreshing main dish salad gluten-free by replacing the couscous with about 1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa.
