     I love this stuff and use it on almost every salad. Or even with chopped tomatos and avocados. A little feta cheese on the top. And try balsamic vinegar in it for a lot of flavor. - 7/10/07

     Awesome mixed in with a tossed salad. Didn't need to use any dressing. Didn't have any olive oil , so I substituted fat free italian dressing and it gve it a nice taste. It's nice to know that I can freeze this, I'd be eating it 3 times a day for a week. - 2/6/10

     Yum! Added cilantro like some of the other posters. Might also add lime juice instead of red wine vinegar next time. Also will add some jalapeno for some kick. - 11/11/09

     Great recipe. I used garlic salt and garlic pepper. Have only made it once but it will be a regular addtion to my kitchen. I can see many possible variations using this basic recipe. And it looks nice too. - 10/10/07

     Took this to a picnic and it was the hit of the party!! I added 1/4 c. green onions and only 1/4 c. green pepper. I also added 1/4 c. fat free feta and it was DELICIOUS! I could eat this every single day! - 7/16/07

     This was great I added some extra olive oil and vinegar on mine but it has all you need, protein, carb and fat. It is a balanced meal all by itself - 7/16/07

     Love the beans and fresh veggies together. And, what better way to get in the protein needed on a hot summer's day. No actual cooking....Yay!!!!!Could even try variations using different vinegars or spices. - 7/10/07
  • MOMMYSALAMI
     YUMMY and a great way to get your veggies and fiber into your daily intake! You can also use your favorite low cal/fat italian dressing with a packet of splenda if you like it a little sweeter in place of the vinegar and oil - 7/10/07
  • GLORBOB
     great left out the corn used olive oil lime juice and cilantro - 2/15/10
  • CD5807913
     I've made this from a similar recipe before --- it is fabulous! The only dif is a little splenda that gives it a sweet vinegary flavor --- but either way it's a crowd pleaser and it's just good!!! - 2/6/10
  • CMULL328
     I made this with balsamic vinegar and Wild Tree Basil oil. Excellent! Next time I'll get the canned beans instead of the dried ones. They don't taste the same, I prefer the canned beans. Oh well, I tried. - 1/4/10
  • ANNAFAITH
     I'm going to try this. Sounds good. To ecnonmize I never buy canned beans; I buy only dry beans (Except for Bush's baked beans to add to my own baked bean recipe). To substitute the dry for the canned, I use one c, dry for 2 c. cooked; follow directions on the package for cooking. - 11/28/09

     I omitted the chickpeas but it was still good! - 12/19/07
  • TARAKERBY
     This was totally fantastic. I added fresh cilantro & it added so much! For anyone doing weight watchers: a cup is only 4 points! - 8/8/07

     so simple, easy and flavorful. i just made it with the ingredients that i had in my pantry and it came out great. love the olive oil and balsamic vinegar! - 7/10/07

     Great - 7/26/21
  • JRILEY235
     This is our go-to summer recipe. Sometimes the beans used are changed.
    When I'm only making it for family, I freeze half of it before I put in the red wine vinegar and oil.
    I add this to a green salad or to soups to punch up the protein. - 6/3/21
  • JIMMOORE14
     Tried this ( or a variation) today. I bought a can of a no salt added 6 bean medley and scaled the rest. Tasted OK. - 5/28/21
