1

In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in the Israeli couscous. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
2

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, layer the tomatoes, orange peppers, yellow peppers, red onions and broccoli (in that order -- without mixing). Pour the cooked Israeli couscous on top and let sit while you move onto step 3.
3

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (1-2 minutes). Pour the oil and garlic into the mixing bowl with the couscous mixture. Add the blue cheese and stir to combine all the ingredients.
4

Drizzle the white wine vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to mix.
5

Serve warm, or chill until ready to serve.
