The original salad is a bit bland, but can be made tastier with a few additions or changes. Add chopped marinated artichoke hearts, substituting the oil in the recipe for the marinade. Toss in sliced olives (I like the stuffed ones, halved). Cook couscous in chicken, veggie, or beef broth. For a main dish salad add shrimp or cooked chicken, or thinly sliced beef. Possibilities are endless. Have fun with it.
