Cous-Cous Salad

This has become one of my favorite recipes.  Amy introduced me to the Cous-Cous Salad in the prepared foods section of the Whole Foods store.  It is so tasty that I had to learn how to make it!  I tweaked the recipe every time I made it and finally landed on this one.  It is a really great side dish with a green salad and any sort of grilled item!  It is fabulous served cold.  Everytime I make it for a crowd, it gets rave reviews!  Enjoy...

Ingredients:

-Whole-wheat cous-cous prepared the way you like it.

(I use chicken broth in mine to give it a bit more flavor)

-1 red onion, finely diced

-1 sweet bell pepper, finely diced (red, orange or yellow)

-1 tomatoe or a pint of grape tomatoes, diced

-1  container crumbled feta cheese (6 - 8 oz.)

-a few tablespoons of lemon juice (or more to taste)

-a few tablespoons of olive oil

-ground pepper to taste

-I sometimes will add just a splash of balsamic vinegar, but this is optional

-throw in a bit of parsley, and if you have any fresh herbs on hand, toss them in too (finely chopped)

1.  Prepare your cous-cous.

2.  Chop all the veggies.

3.  Mix all the ingredients up together and chill for a bit before serving.
