I put couscous, salt, tomatoes, peppers and some spices into a pot and add water. Then bring to a boil and wait for all the water to disappear.

This but I sauté the veggies (and add onion and garlic) and use veggie stock instead of water.
Yeah I just remembered I put the couacous in later. Have not made it in a while. Vegies go in, medium heat smother a bit, add water, wait a bit then add couscous.

I use it for salad, too. Couscous, sundried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, vegan feta, and some oregano. I could live on that stuff.
I recently had it as a salad, but with Tabouli also, and it was really good. I called it Tabouscous. But usually more as a side dish like rice or pasta.
Apart from salad, cous cous is also a great base to make vegan patties. Mix the prepared cous cous with soy flour or gluten powder, spices, herbs etc. and you'll get a great and fluffy dough to make hamburgers, meat balls, fill bell peppers etc. :)
I used to keep a box of couscous at work for quick snacks. Little bit in a mug with a pinch of veggie stock, very tasty.
The food so nice they named it twice
