I wouldn't call this gourmet fare, but it was very good for a quick weeknight dinner. I made these adjustments: added a squeeze of lemon juice, rinsed the beans, and added just a touch of kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. We had our greens as a side salad and ate this on bruschetta. Yum. - 7/21/09

I used the garbanzo beans as suggested by another and used half of orange & yellow pepper as I had those on hand. Added granulated garlic and pepper and some sea salt and it was great! Next time I think that I will try it with Old Bay Seasoning. The combinations are endless Thanks for the basics. - 7/9/09

Basic salad is very good. I didn't have a red pepper on hand so I took the recipe poster's suggestion and added cucumber. Very yummy! I also tried a portion of it with balsamic vinegar added (just a dash or two) and that was awesome. When feeling indulgent I will try adding black olives or parm. - 1/12/13
