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!!

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!:)
