# How to Make It:
01 - Bring vegetable broth to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in pearl couscous and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender.
02 - Remove from heat and spread couscous evenly on a baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes.
03 - While couscous cools, combine diced red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese in a large mixing bowl.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
05 - Add cooled couscous to the mixing bowl with vegetables and pour dressing over. Toss gently to combine until evenly distributed.
06 - Fold in chopped parsley and taste to adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
