Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 In a small bowl, combine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon, and lemon zest. Add olive oil and whisk until well blended. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add couscous, stirring occasionally, until toasted and starting to turn light golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Pour chicken broth over couscous, stir in cranberries, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove lid from saucepan, and allow couscous to cool for about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Fluff cooled couscous with a fork, add cucumber, feta cheese, and red onion. Drizzle dressing over couscous, and toss lightly.
  5. 5 Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired, and garnish with fresh mint. May be served immediately or chilled in the fridge.
