Traditionally, salted cod is used for this recipe, but for the sake of everyone's blood pressure, I used fresh cod and salted the water in which it's cooked. The result: salted cod that isn't overly salty.

Couscous Tabbouleh Salad

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:06:32 +0100

I love tabouleh but I hate it when you get it ready made and it's just sitting in all this random juice. This version is a little lighter and uses couscous in place of bulgur. I also didn't bother adding scallions because I think the flavor from the red onion…
