Step by step recipe

1	Put into a large salad bowl: 300 g couscous, 100 ml olive oil, 150 ml lemon juice, 2 tablespoons vinegar, salt and pepper. The oil and lemon juice dressing will swell and soften the dry couscous just enough.
2	Prepare (peel) 300 g tomatoes and cut into small pieces.
3	Prepare 1 onion and 1 shallot. Chop very finely.
4	Add the chopped tomatoes, onion and shallot to the bowl.
5	Coarsley chop the herbs (a mixture of mint, parsley, coriander and chives here) and add to the bowl. You can use whatever herbs you prefer, but mint and parsley are the basic essentials.
6	Mix everything together thoroughly, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours for the couscous to soak up the oil and lemon juice.
7	Checking seasoning and your tabbouleh is ready.

Remarks

Tabbouleh can be made in many different versions, for example, by adding diced cucumber, lettuce or other vegetables, according to personal taste. So, give it a try.
Collect any tomato juice from stage 2 and add to the couscous.
When you taste at the end of the recipe to check the seasoning, you can also adjust the acidity of the Tabouleh (add a little lemon juice) or its smoothness (add a little olive oil) to your taste.
