We enjoyed this for supper last night. I used one can of kidney beans instead of three. I added a yellow mini pepper to the mix. I served it alongside steamed asparagus and toasted sourdough bread. Easy, inexpensive, nutritious and tasty.

I added additional 2 Tbsp oil and vinegar when tossing. Also 2 Tbsp slivered basil and 2 stalks celery sliced on diagonal.

Loved this, very quick and very tasty. I added cilantro, and it made it much better, but of course it adds a little time.

I wish I would have read these comments before because this recipe definitely only needs one to two cans of beans

I used borlotti beans, bulgarian sheep cheese, apple cider vinegar, red wine, and balsamic vinaigrette, and optional fresh basil leaves.

I’m on a high-fiber diet for health reasons and I just love this dish so much! It’s the easiest thing in the world to prepare and begs to be added to and played around with. I like to dice up a celery stalk and a small carrot and toss those in with a small handful of chopped Italian parsley. I serve it with a side of tri-color quinoa that I season with a pinch or two of sea salt and a dash of EVOO. Voilà! It’s like the simplest, healthiest, most satisfying vegan lunch ever.
