Used chick peas instead of white beans because that's all I had. Will make again, definitely with the chick peas! - 07 Nov 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is an attractive, healthy salad that contains complete protein for a vegetarian meal. I think it will be even better tomorrow, when the flavours have had time to blend more. thanks! - 23 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This salad was really tasty. I had some bulgur wheat sitting in my cabinet unused, so I decided this was the recipe to try it with. I didn't have white beans so I substituted with butter beans. It was fine. Also used a whole red sweet pepper instead of half a yellow one. And definitely needed some chopped fresh avocado. Made a great addition to this salad. Maybe for some extra Mediterranean flair next time I'd also chop up some kalamata olives to add a little punch. Overall a great recipe. My husband, who gave up meat entirely for Lent, couldn't stop raving about it. This one's a keeper. - 16 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
