In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil – add the couscous. Turn off the heat, cover & let cook.
After 15 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the grilled veggies, the nuts, fruit & herbs, toss gently to combine – dress while still warm with the vinaigrette. Season again with salt & pepper to taste and serve family-style on a large platter and garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
