"Spicy, summery pasta salad made with cucumber, lemon, mint, basil, and jalapeno. This is my interpretation of a spicy tabbouleh dish from 'Pasta & Co.'"

Ingredients

• 3 cups water
• 2 cups couscous
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cucumber, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion

• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand until the couscous absorbs the water entirely, about 10 minutes; fluff with a fork.
2. While the couscous soaks, stir the feta cheese, jalapeno pepper, cucumber, garlic, green onion, mint, basil, cilantro, parsley, cumin, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the prepared couscous and mix well.
