Feta and Mint Couscous Salad

I shop at HIT in Unterschleissheim and I am able to get all of these ingredients there or at Real in the Euro Industry Park.

FETA AND MINT COUSCOUS SALAD

1 box(es) (5.9-oz.) toasted pine nut-flavored couscous (**I substituted plain couscous and just added in pine nuts I roasted in a pan for a few minutes)
3 tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
1/4 cup(s) dried fruit (**I just used dried cranberries but anything but blueberries will work)
1 jarred roasted red pepper
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
2 tablespoon(s) fresh mint


Directions

Prepare toasted pine nut-flavored couscous as label directs.
Meanwhile, combine chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, cup chopped dried fruit (any kind, or a mix of fruits) and chopped jarred roasted red pepper in a large serving bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice and chopped fresh mint; mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fluff couscous with a fork and spoon into serving bowl. Add a 4-oz. package crumbled garlic-and-herb-flavored feta cheese or your favorite feta cheese with a teaspoon of oregano (or your favorite spice to taste, garlic and a handful of fresh parsley; toss well. Serve with baked pita, pita chips or fresh crusty bread
