Greek Couscous

Kathryn and the boys were up here last weekend and we stopped in at Sweet Tomatoes. They had the most delicious cold couscous salad and last night I tried to replicate it. It was good, but even tastier today after a night in the fridge.


Ingredients

1 1/2 C Couscous (I used white, but next time I'm going to try a mix of white and wheat)
2 1/4 C Chicken Broth
1 can garbanzo beans
1/2 C Feta Cheese, crumbled
diced tomatoes
diced cucumber
diced red bell pepper
fresh basil, parsley and oregano, minced
Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper
Fresh Lemon juice
Greek Vinaigrette

Bring chicken broth to a boil and add couscous. Remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff thoroughly with a fork and refrigerate. When couscous is cold, toss with drained and rinsed garbanzo beans, feta, vegetables, and herbs. Squeeze juice of half a lemon and salt and pepper to taste. Next time I'll try adding a little Greek Vinaigrette for a little more flavor. But it was delicious anyway!
