Directions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add couscous and cook, stirring often until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil.

Drizzle with desired amount of vinagrette. Toss until well combined. Sprinkle with the extra crumbled feta cheese and pine nuts. Serve immediately with any extra vinaigrette.
