I got the recipe for this delicious salad from my friend, Tannya, a truly amazing cook. Toasting the couscous brings out a wonderful nuttiness, which is complemented by the salty feta cheese, sweet tomatoes, and fresh chives.

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, heat water plus about 2 teaspoons of olive oil to boiling. Meanwhile, heat another teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add couscous, and saute, stirring frequently, until couscous it nicely toasted. Remove couscous from heat and immediately add to boiling water. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Remove lid, toss couscous with a fork, and set aside to cool completely. When cooled, pour couscous into a medium-sized bowl. Add tomatoes, feta, and chives. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and toss. Salt to taste. Serve at room temperature.
