      Instructions

      Dressing
      1. Prepare the dressing in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture has thickened slightly. Set aside while you cook the couscous to allow the flavors to marinate.
      2. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of Country Crock® Original Spread over medium-high heat.
      3. Add the couscous to the pan and toast, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir the couscous frequently to evenly toast.
      4. Add the water and salt to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, cover, and boil the couscous until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess liquid in the pan, and transfer the couscous to a baking sheet. Spread into an even layer and allow to cool.
      5. Just before assembling the salad, whisk the dressing again. Then, toss the dressing, cooled couscous, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta together in a large bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
