      Couscous Tabbouleh, Tabbouleh is one of my favorite salads, we eat it all summer long Some times use couscous instead of the cracked wheat normally called for in tabbouleh, it makes for a lighter salad Normally, tabbouleh has mint in it, but I’m not so crazy about the addition, so I’ve made it optional This was created for RSC Summer 2005 , Great, but even better with about 1/2 tsp lemon pepper , A lovely salad one that keeps well in the lunchbox I skipped on the olive oil all together as I wanted to keep the calories right down I prefer my couscous this way I also subbed pine nuts for the pistachios
