Ingredients

Scale

1 cup couscous
1 cup water
⅔ cup diced peppers (sweet, bell… whatever suits your fancy)

Instructions

Prepare the couscous as directed on the package. Mine says to boil the water in a saucepan, add the couscous, stir quickly, and remove from the heat to let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
In a large bowl, mix peppers, tomatoes, and olives together well.
Add the couscous and stir, breaking up the large pieces.
Add the juices and/or oils from the tomatoes and olives to the couscous as needed to keep the dish moist, but not wet. Couscous will absorb liquid quickly, so be generous and work fast.
Once the couscous and vegetables are mixed well, add feta and stir to combine.
Sprinkle parsley just before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Add salt if desired. I found that the olives and feta added enough saltiness without needing to add more.
Store leftover Greek couscous in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Since the couscous continues to soak up liquid, the texture may change slightly.
