A delightful and refreshing couscous dish infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, perfect as a side or light meal.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Use a saucepan with a lid to retain heat efficiently.
Add the couscous to the boiling water, stir, and cover the saucepan. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Ensure the lid is tightly closed to allow the couscous to steam properly.
Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
Fluff gently to avoid mashing the grains.
In a mixing bowl, combine the green onion, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the fluffed couscous to the bowl and toss to combine.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the couscous grains.
Serve the couscous warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
This dish can also be served cold as a refreshing salad.
