Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix and whisk together the tomato juice, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the couscous to the mixture and stir well. Cover and let sit overnight.
Step 2
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Blanch the tomatoes and remove their skins. Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds, and dice them into small cubes. Slice the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds, and dice it into small cubes. Place the vegetables in a separate bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the raisins and soak them for about 10 minutes. Then add them to the bowl with the vegetables, along with the garlic. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Step 4
The next day, combine the couscous and vegetables in one container. Add the mint and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
