Greek Couscous Salad

1 cup whole wheat couscous
1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
1 medium cucumber - chopped
1 medium sweet green pepper - chopped
1/2 cup snipped chives
1/4 cup snipped parsley
1/4 cup oregano
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup grapeseed oil (or light olive oil)
2 tsp agave nectar
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts

Bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil and add 1 cup of couscous. Stir until incorporated, reduce heat to low and cover for 20 minutes. Chop cucumber, tomato and green pepper and set aside. Combine oil, vinegar, agave and spices and whisk until blended. Remove couscous to a large bowl and add cucumber mixture and balsamic mixture. Add feta and walnuts and stir until completely combined. Chill for one hour for best taste results. TRY to share! YUM!
