the dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice

Place the couscous in a large bowl and cover with the bowling water.
cover the bowl and let stand 10 minutes.  fluff with a fork and let cool
completely.
Add remaining ingredients and toss with dressing.
For the dressing:  whisk oil, juice, water, garlic and salt in small
bowl until blended.  taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
When i make this, i garnish the salad with additional tomatoes, greek
olives and more crumbled feta.
