Instructions

1
In a saucepan, quickly sauté the couscous in a drop of oil until lightly fragrant. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook covered for 8–10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Let the couscous rest for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
2
While the couscous is cooling, prepare the vegetables in a large bowl: chop the tomatoes, cucumber and bell pepper. Add the rinsed black beans and chopped parsley.
3
In a small jar, mix all the ingredients for the dressing: olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic and spices. Shake well.
4
Add the cooled couscous to the vegetables, pour over the dressing and mix gently.
5
Finally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Serve the salad immediately or place it in the refrigerator to let the flavors combine.
