Cooking Instructions
- Start by bringing 1 cup of vegetable broth to a gentle boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once boiling, add 1 cup of couscous, stir it well, cover the pot with a lid, and remove it from heat. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous absorbs the broth fully. Afterward, fluff it with a fork and let it cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vibrant chopped cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, bell pepper, finely diced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and freshly chopped parsley. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure an even distribution of colors and textures.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep whisking until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
- Once the couscous has cooled, add it to the bowl with the prepared vegetables. Drizzle the homemade dressing over the top, and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
- You can serve your Healthy Mediterranean Couscous Salad immediately at room temperature or cover it and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes
To keep the salad fresh, store the dressing separately and mix it just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
