Introduction

This salad travels well for picnics and work lunches, and keeps for several days in the fridge. Makes a great stuffing for pita pockets, or over cooked bulgur or brown rice.

    Incredible!
    I reduced the amount of chili pepper, otherwise FANTASTIC as is. I eat it with pita bread and add addition broth and eat as a soup. Thanks. - 4/4/19

    This sounds very good. I will probably use it as a filling for pita bread. I am always on the lookout for healthy food that tastes good, this should even please my non-vegan husband. I can't wait to try it. - 2/8/10
