Instructions
Steam the Couscous
Pour 1.5 cups of boiling water or hot vegetable broth over couscous in a large bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a plate and let steam for exactly 5 minutes.
Fluff and Cool
Uncover couscous and fluff thoroughly with a fork breaking up any clumps. Spread slightly and allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before adding fresh ingredients.
Prep Vegetables
Halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber into small cubes, and halve kalamata olives while the couscous cools. Combine in a bowl.
Toss and Serve
Add all vegetables and feta cheese to the cooled couscous. Drizzle with lemon herb vinaigrette and toss gently to combine without breaking up the feta too much.
