Steps:
- Add the couscous, salt, and boiling water to a large mixing bowl.

- Once the couscous is at room temperature, add the chopped green onion, cucumber, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, parsley, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss salad gently.
- It is recommended that if you make this salad ahead of time, add the olive oil and lemon juice right before ready to serve.
