4 steps

Cook couscous by pouring boiling water over it, covering, and letting it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked couscous, rinsed chickpeas, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and finely diced red onion.
In a small jar, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the dressing over the salad, add chopped parsley and mint, toss well to combine, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
