Bring water and salt to boil in large saucepan (about 4-quart capacity - helps grains cook without sticking together). Stir in couscous, then cover pan and remove from heat. Let stand just 5 minutes.
Scrape couscous into large bowl. Add olive oil, then toss and fluff couscous with fork to separate grains and coat with oil. Cool to room temperature.
Add onion, bell pepper, lemon juice, mint and ground pepper. Stir and toss with fork to blend ingredients and flavorings. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Add cherries and walnuts, then stir and toss to combine.
Place lettuce leaves around edge of serving bowl or platter, then mound salad in center.
