Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup instant couscous
1 tsp minced lemon zest
1 cup water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp champagne vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 pinch pepper
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
1 scallion , both white and green parts , thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Directions:

Pour the couscous grains into a small baking dish. Set the lemon zest aside to toss with the salad later. Combine the water, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, pour over couscous, and give it a quick stir. Cover the dish and set aside for 20 minutes.
When the couscous is ready, gently fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Transfer to a serving bowl and toss with the reserved lemon zest and the remaining ingredients.
