Step-by-Step Instructions for Light Mediterranean Couscous Salad
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Immediately stir in 1 cup of traditional Moroccan couscous, covering the saucepan with a lid. Remove it from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Use a fork to fluff the couscous gently and spread it on a baking sheet to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled couscous with chopped tomatoes, diced cucumber, bell pepper, garbanzo beans, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking continuously.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
