You may be asking: Ummm, what's tabbouleh? Pronounced "tuh-boo-lee," it's basically a Middle Eastern pasta salad.
I served this with the Armenian Beef Kebabs. An excellent pairing!
I tweaked the recipe a little bit because I didn't have any fresh mint on hand. Here's my version.

Couscous Tabbouleh
1 cup water
3⁄4 cup whole-wheat couscous
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 large seedless cucumber, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1⁄4 tsp. salt
Heat water in small saucepan to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover with lid and remove from the heat. Allow couscous to soak up water for several minutes. Once water is absorbed, fluff couscous with fork, then let cool.
Once cool, toss with remaining tabbouleh ingredients in a large bowl.
