This is a delicious bean salad that tastes wonderful when summer's tomatoes come in. Substantial enough for a main course. Serve with a platter of assorted salamis or smoked fish and some crusty bread.

I liked the combination of flavors, but was not overly happy with the outcome. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I coarsley chopped the eggs, as a personal preference. I felt the salad had too much onion, 1/3 cup would have been enough for me, or perhaps my onions are much sharper than greek ones, and I found the taste of the red wine vinegar did not quite fit in. When I do this again, I will use lemon or lime juice instead. I would reduce the olive oil to 3 Tbs, too. I will try this again with the above changes. :)Reply
