Athenian Couscous Salad

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) vegetable broth
1 cup couscous
1 lg. ripe tomato, coarsely diced
2 thin green onions, finely minced
1/2 cucumber, peeled, coarsely diced
1/2 cup finely minced parsley
4 oz. feta cheese, finely crumbled
4 tbsp. lemon juice
2-1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. salt
10 turns fresh black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions:

Put the broth and couscous into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes, until the broth is absorbed. Transfer the couscous to a bowl and cool. When cool, break apart the lumps with your fingers. Add the tomato, green onions, cucumber, parsley and feta to the couscous.

Put the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne into a small jar. Cover and shake well to blend. Pour over the salad, mixing well. Refrigerate; bring the salad to room temperature before serving.
