Couscous with a Kick!

3 cups water

2 cups couscous

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped

½ cucumber, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

½ cup chopped green onion

3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

1 lemon, juiced

Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand until the couscous absorbs the water entirely, about 10 minutes; fluff with a fork.

While the couscous soaks, stir the feta cheese, jalapeno pepper, cucumber, garlic, green onion, mint, basil, cilantro, parsley, cumin, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the prepared couscous and mix well.
