Step 1
Start by boiling some water in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, take it off the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the pot and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the couscous absorbs the water and is tender. Fluff it up with a fork and let it cool down a bit.

Step 2
While the couscous is cooling, chop up the olives, red bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes. Toss them into a bowl with the couscous. Add about a tablespoon of the olive liquid and a tablespoon of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to the mix—this adds great flavor and keeps everything moist. If it feels a little dry, drizzle in a bit more oil.

Finally, gently fold in the feta cheese and sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top. Give everything a light stir, and you’re ready to serve!
