Seaside couscous

Recently I had a wonderful couscous at our local bagel shop. The mint in  it was so refreshing. I thought I'd try to re-create something similar here at the beach. Very simple but I have to say it was perfect with a tomato sandwich on the side.
Chopped cucumber and tomato in the bowl, 

Lots and lots of chopped mint leaves  and diced feta. 

I had this beautiful white cucumber from the farmers market. Very mild in flavor but was nice when I minced small to go to with the couscous. this  tomato was perfect. Great flavor, no white core , very juicy. I let it "juice" or drain a little bit on the cutting board so the extra liquid would not go into the couscous salad.
Plain couscous,

A drizzle of the mildest, fruity Italian  olive oil, 



Enjoy! I did. 
Back to the beach!
