I’ve used couscous, as it was what I had at home, so Ive poured hot water over it, waited a little (I wasn’t sure about mixing boiling water with lemon juice and olive oil) and then added olive oil and lemon juice. It seemed like a lot and I was worried at first, but turned out perfect :)

not bad :) a bit too sour for my taste, and the portion size seemed kind of small (probably due to the oil). I brought the salad to a potluck work lunch and people seemed to like it.

Hi Kira, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe. In case your lemon was on the large size, half a lemon yields approximately 15 mL (1 Tbsp) of lemon juice for us 🤗

Delicious! Will be making it again. Used quinoa instead.

Herby and delicious! I plan to hone my knife skills so I can get the parsley even smaller!
