Step 1

Add the couscous to a large metal or glass bowl then pour over the boiling water (you can use chicken stock too if you want more flavor) and season with a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and allow to soak for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork.

Step 3

Finely dice the vegetables. I don't like keeping the veggies too chunky for this salad so I quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and cucumber.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water then allow to drain for a few minutes before adding to the salad.

Step 5

Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 6

Add all the vegetables and herbs to the couscous along with the feta cheese.

Step 7

Toss to combine with the dressing and serve.
