  I made this for my children and they loved it despite not being particularly fond of fish. They loved the sauce the most. We had it with the tabboulah which went down even better!

  Had this for dinner tonight with some lamb burgers in pitta bread and worked really well. Cooked this for two people so I halved the ingredients and the quantities worked really well! Would work great for a buffet or even a dinner party, great blend of flavours.

  Try it with with fine bulghur soaked in warm water then drained. It can be used instead of cousous for a traditional Lebanese version!

  Hi.. I have signed specially to add my comments on this dish. Well actually this is not Tabbouleh.. You can give other names to it but not Tabouleh. You can find the meannig of Tabbouleh on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbouleh. In the original Tabbouleh we don't use couscous, we use a liitle of fine Bulgur... hope you consider my comments

  Really nice, fresh and healthy side dish. I made it with courgette instead of cucumber and served it with soy-glazed seared tuna. Delicious!

  Made this tonight, only for 2 people so halved the ingredients, but used quinoa instead of cous cous, red pepper instead of cucumber and corriander instead of parsely and served it with grilled chicken... it went down a storm! Will DEFINITELY be making again, especially with barbeques coming up!

  Tabbouleh is not made with couscous. Also, it needs more parsley.
