  1. This was great! maybe reduce your sugar amount a little! Yummy!!!
     
  2. I love this recipe!! I used fresh green beans instead of a can and it tasted wonderfully! I will be using this recipe again!
     
  3. wow! This was really, really, really overwhelmingly sweet. And fairly bland. After letting it sit for a few hours I dumped out the extra liquid in the bowl and added in about 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and then added some seasoning salt and fresh parsley. That helped immensely...
     
  4. I was a bit skeptical of this recipe, but it was actually really, really good. It tastes better on the second day so I highly recommend making it in advance. I couldn't find wax beans, omitted the green pepper and the scallions. I added some finely chopped red onion and let it marinate overnight. After marinating for a full day, I put over some argula and it acted as a dressing and I served it as an argula salad with beans. Delicious. My guests LOVED it. Thanks!!
     
  5. I LOVED this recipe. It was super easy to make and everyone loved it. I used white onion (because that's all I had) and it worked fine. Very much like the salad that is sold at Costco! A new favorite.

  1. When I saw your photo of this I had to try it and was glad I did! I'd never eaten a garbanzo bean until this and they're so good! Easy to mix up and very tasty! I did substitute olive oil for the vegetable, and left out the green peppers because of personal choice. Next next time I make it I'll reduce the sugar to get an even "tangier" taste! Thanks for a wonderful salad Chris!:)

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
