In a small sauce pan with a tight fitting lid, bring stock to a boil. Add couscous, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand covered for five minutes. Remove lid and fluff couscous with fork. Allow to cool.

When couscous becomes room temperature, transfer into a large mixing bowl. Add cucumber, onion, tomato, black olive, and spinach. Toss to combine. Add Feta Cheese and mix again.

Whisk together olive oil and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Add garlic paste, herbs, and salt and pepper. Mix well. Pour over couscous mixture and toss until evenly coated.
