Summer Couscous

I accidentally grew an amazing cherry tomato plant this year. This would never happen if I were trying to grow tomatoes but I'm happy to be harvesting the first tomatoes now. They are delicious in salads and on sandwiches but I had a craving for this little number. This makes 2 girl sized side portions.

1/2 cup uncooked couscous (regular not Israeli/pearl)
1/4 cup water
3-4 cherry tomatoes, diced
Diced cucumber (about equal to the tomatoes)
Olive oil, about 1/2 tablespoon 
3 mint leaves, finely chopped

Boil the water in a small saucepan. Swirl in the couscous, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Let sit until cool. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine and fluff up the couscous. Season with a little salt and pepper.
