Prepare the couscous with the vegetable broth according to the package instructions. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Set aside for now. Peel and finely dice the onion. Trim and finely dice the bell pepper. Peel the cucumber and dice it slightly more coarsely. Once the couscous has cooled, toss it with the vegetables and add the remaining oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt, pepper, the juice of half a lemon, chili oil, and parsley. Mix everything well. Make a dressing with the yogurt, the remaining lemon juice, parsley, and salt and serve with the salad. Tip: The more lemon and parsley you use, the better the salad will be. Freeze everything briefly before serving; this makes it even cooler, especially in summer!
