Quick Cook: Uber-Herby Pearl Couscous Salad with Tomatoes and Feta

This summer salad boasts a tabbouleh-level quantity of herbs, packing in an equal ratio of fresh herbs to grain. Tossed with a lemony vinaigrette and dotted with bright cherry tomatoes, it veers off from traditional tabbouleh with the use of pearl couscous, which has a fun, more substantial texture than the traditional bulgur. Topped with large slabs of feta and extra olive oil, this salad is sure to satisfy for a summery lunch, brunch or side.

This salad stores well in the refrigerator for a couple days, so it makes an easy grab-and-go lunch or make-ahead summer side for a barbecue.
