    Ingredients
    1 cup Israeli couscous
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 lemon, zested and juiced
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 cup finely chopped parsley
    1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
    2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
    3 scallions, chopped
    Bring medium-size saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the couscous and cook until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the couscous and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and zest with the olive oil to make vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    In a large serving bowl, mix together the couscous, parsley, cilantro, mint, tomatoes and scallions. Toss with the vinaigrette and season to taste. Allow it to sit for a half hour so the flavors can marry
