Pierre's Fast and Simple Couscous Salad
Description
Don't you like a quick and easy recipe? Throwing everything in the blender? And make a big batch that's even better the next day?
I got this couscous recipe from my mom. It's a great summer cold dish that can be served as a main or a side. At home we called it "taboule", it's a distant cousin to the middle-eastern dish of the same name.

2.5 cups dry couscous
0.5 cup Olive Oil
4.5 fl oz Lemon Juice
1 yellow onion
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green)
5 to 8 sprigs spearmint (leaves only)
3 tomatoes
salt
Preparation
1) Place the dry couscous in a big container, it will easily double in size
2) Clean and cut onion and tomatoes in a few pieces
Clean and cut the bellpeppers in smaller pieces (remove the seeds!)
3) In a blender, add olive oil, lemon juice, onion, tomatoes, bellpeppers, spearmint leaves, and salt to taste. Blend well to obtain a thick liquid.
3) Pour onto the couscous, mix with a fork, and place in the fridge for at least an hour. Afterwards, the couscous will have absorbed everything. Fluff it and it's ready to serve ! Note: it tastes even better the next day.
