Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups veggie broth

1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous

2 cups chopped tomato (about 1 1/4 pounds), seeded

2 cups chopped veggie chicken, cooked (preferably fried)

1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup (1-ounce) crumbled feta cheese

1 can sliced black olives (optional)

1 juice of half of a lemon (optional)

Directions

Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at high for 45 seconds.

Add the broth; microwave at high 4 minutes or until mixture simmers.

Gradually stir in couscous; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Stir in the tomato, chicken, basil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with cheese (and black olives and the lemon juice).

I prefer this dish cold, but you may not. I suggest chilling for about an hour then serving.
