Steps:
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dry couscous and saute until slightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until couscous is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 45 minutes.
- While the couscous is cooling, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and Dijon mustard together for the dressing in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Transfer cooled couscous to a serving bowl. Add cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes, olives, scallions , parsley, mint, and basil. Pour dressing over top and mix to incorporate.

Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette. In a mason jar, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, basil, dill, garlic, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Shake vigorously or use an immersion blender to mix well. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Make the salad. Bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil. Keep at a low boil.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of olive oil. When hot, pour in the couscous and saute, moving constantly, until golden brown.
- Carefully pour in the boiling chicken stock and cook until the couscous is tender.
- Drain the couscous in a colander and add to a large bowl to cool.
- To the couscous, add the scallions, chopped basil, cucumber, and Roma tomatoes.
- Shake the jar of dressing to incorporate all of the ingredients and pour over the couscous and vegetables. Toss well to combine.
- Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

TOASTED COUSCOUS SALAD
Steps:
- For the vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, honey, mustard and garlic in a large bowl. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil so it lightly emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- For the couscous: Heat the chicken broth in a pot over medium-high heat. Set another large pot over high heat and add the couscous. Allow the couscous to brown while you toss and stir it, about 5 minutes. When it is done it will be lightly browned and fragrant. Season the couscous with salt. Add the heated chicken broth to the couscous and shut off the heat. Cover and allow to stand for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the couscous with a fork.
- Add the chopped vegetables to the vinaigrette and toss to coat everything evenly. Fold in the couscous and serve.
