I love this bean salad! Nice mix with a nice flavor. I did add just a pinch of sugar and I doubled the dressing cause I loved the flavor and wanted more! Thanks!

This was just ok to me. I didn't find that the dressing added much flavor. Next time, I may use the same ingredients but make my usual lime juice/olive oil dressing for the salad.

This is amazing! I absolutely love the dressing! I used romano beans instead of chick peas & purple onion instead of green onion just 'cuz that's what I had on hand & it turned out beautifully. A definite keeper!
