Ingredients:

2     cups          water
1 1/2 cups          couscous
2     tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
1     tablespoon    extra-virgin olive oil
                    Freshly grated zest of 2 large lemons
1/4   cup           coarsely-chopped mixed herbs
                    = (chives, mint, parsley)
1     medium        carrot
                    cut into tiny dice
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove the water from the heat, stir in the couscous, cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Remove to a bowl.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest, stirring in with a fork. Stir in the herbs and diced carrot. Season with salt and pepper.

Comments: Fluffing the couscous with a fork keeps it from sticking together. Don't cover the couscous afterward, because it will keep cooking. The lemon zest punches up the flavor.
