Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and tomato. Slice the spring onions into rings. Place everything in a bowl. Roughly chop the basil and add it. Add the lemon juice (amount to taste; I usually use the juice of a whole lemon—I like it sour), as well as the olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the hot vegetable broth over the couscous in a bowl and let it swell for a few minutes. Then add it to the bowl with the vegetables and stir to combine. Adjust the seasonings if desired.
