| 1. In a medium pot, boil water with garlic, margarine and salt. When water is at a rolling boil, add couscous. Stir a couple times. Turn off heat and cover the pot. Leave for 10 minutes without opening the lid. | 2. After 10 minutes, give the couscous another stir and let sit, uncovered to cool. | 3. Meanwhile, while the couscous is busy cooling, in a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except for the feta cheese, lemon juice and the oil. | 4. Add the couscous to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine everything. | 5. When everything is combined, you can add the lemon juice and oil and mix again. Sometimes, I find I may have to add a litlle bit more lemon juice, but that is my preference -- | 6. Add feta cheese just prior to serving the salad and mix again. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
