Instructions

In a medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable or chicken broth and olive oil to a boil.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork to break up any clumps. Set it aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced red and yellow bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
Add the cooled couscous to the mixing bowl and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the couscous mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss again to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Transfer the Couscous to a serving dish, garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve.
