Step 1
Place 1 cup couscous in a large bowl and pour 1.25 cups boiling water over it. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed and the couscous is fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the couscous sits, halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly slice 3 green onions, and chop 0.5 cup fresh parsley.
Step 3
Fluff the couscous with a fork, then stir in the tomatoes, green onions, parsley, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Add lemon juice or crumbled feta if you like.
