Green and Lemony Couscous Salad

I used couscous instead of bulgar wheat in this tabbouleh-like salad.  It's lighter and takes no time at all to cook.

1/4 cup couscous
1/4 cup boiling water

1 cup diced English cucumber, unpeeled of course
1/4 cup chopped spinach leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsps lemon juice
2 tbsps olive oil
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Add boiling water to couscous, let sit 5-10 minutes, then fluff it up. That's easy!
Prepare the vegetables and mix them in with the couscous. There's a lot of green stuff going on here.

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss with the salad, chill and serve.
