Hướng dẫn

Cook the Couscous - In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt, and olive oil to a boil over high heat. Add the couscous and stir quickly. Turn off the heat and cover. Let it stand until tender, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool. For faster cooling, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.

Assemble the Couscous Salad - In a large bowl, combine cooled couscous, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, garbanzo beans, red onion, olives, cheese, parsley, mint, basil, and oregano.

Make the Lemon Dressing - In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until a thickened dressing forms.

To Serve - Pour the dressing over the salad. Gently stir to combine. If desired, garnish with more cheese and herbs.
