Spread couscous in a large flat dish. Pour 1¼ cups lemon juice over the couscous, wetting all of the grains; do not stir. After 15 minutes, rub the couscous between your finger tips. Repeat the rubbing in half an hour and then again in one hour.
Add tomatoes, peppers, and mint to couscous and chill for several hours. Before serving, add nuts, oil, hot peppers, salt, and remaining lemon juice.
Recipe Notes
*Since this recipe was adapted for Eat It Raw, the almonds were raw, but they’re really much better if they’re toasted!
