Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked Israeli (pearl) couscous
  • 1 (19 fluid ounce) can chickpeas drained
  • 1/2 small red onion chopped finely
  • 1 small handful mint chopped
  • 1 small handful parsley chopped
  • 1 large carrot grated 
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the Israeli couscous according to package directions (I simmered mine for 17 minutes) then drain and rinse with cool water.
  • Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients.
  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss together. Adjust vinegar and oil quantities as needed. Salad keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.

Notes

  • If you're eating this as a main meal, it'll make about 2 portions.
