   1      medium        Garlic clove -- minced
                        (I'd use more)
   6      tablespoons   Lemon juice
   2      tablespoons   Olive oil
                        Fresh ground black pepper
     1/4  cup           Fresh mint or dillweed -- minced
     1/4  cup           Parsley -- minced

 Bring the water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the couscous to a boil in a saucepan. 
 Cover and remove from the heat. Let sit 10 minutes. Cool and break apart.  
Transfer to a bowl.  Add the red pepper, green onion, cucumber, tomatoes,
 artichokes and feta cheese to the couscous.  In a small jar, combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil,
remaining salt and pepper to taste.  
Cover and shake jar until the dressing has emulsified. 
 Pour over the salad. Add the mint (or dill) and parsley.  
Let the salad sit, covered, for one hour before serving so the flavors will blend.
