Easy Mediterranean Couscous Salad (Edit recipe)

Prepare the couscous

1. In a medium pot, bring vegetable stock, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to a boil.
2. Stir in couscous, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Remove the lid and fluff couscous with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.

Assemble the salad

1. Transfer couscous to a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir in cucumber, olives, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper and red onion.
3. Add lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, remaining salt and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
4. Crumble feta cheese into the bowl and add fresh basil. Gently stir, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for meal prep. Before serving, drizzle with additional olive oil if the salad has absorbed too much moisture.
