- Cook your couscous according to package directions until tender and perfectly cooked. Strain & rinse. Set aside while you dice up all of your veggies.
- Once your couscous is cooled, add it to a mixing bowl along with all of the ingredients including the dressing. Toss until everything is combined nicely. Season with salt & pepper, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to come together. Taste again prior to service and season to taste if needed. I didn't find it needed much salt after my initial season and some time in the fridge. I preferred it on the fresh er side, especially since the feta & dressing have salt.
- Serve and ENJOY!
- Remaining salad can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days. This recipe is also super easy to double if you want to enjoy it multiple times over several days.
Notes
- Prep time includes 30 Min chill time in the refrigerator.
