Raw zucchini doesn’t get the credit it deserves. In this zucchini lemon couscous raw veggies are combined with warm couscous and the results are divine. It’s bright, fresh, colorful and perfect as a side at a summer bbq.
I like to eat it while the couscous is warm, but serving it cold is just fine too!
Make couscous according to instruction. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, add 1 cup israeli couscous. Remove from heat and cover. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
