This was great! I omitted the feta cheese, and used walnuts instead of pine nuts. Also, I wasn't sure if you meant dried oregano or fresh, and all I had was dried, so I used the given amount of dried oregano, even though it looked like a bit much! However, it all came together in the end, with the crunch of the walnuts complimenting the kidney beans, tomatoes, and cousous to perfection! Thanks stephanie!

This salad was so good, I used garbanzos instead of the kidney beans, and chopped kalamata olives instead of the pine nuts because the store was out, and a teaspoon of dried oregano because I think the original recipe calls for fresh, but it was perfect! I'd definitely serve it up with some grilled steak or chicken next time.
