excellent salad....loved the fact that it didn't have a "dressing" so to speak. I used kalamata olives instead of plain black olives. I added chopped red pepper and grape tomato halves. This was a great side dish for our grilled chicken tonight!

This salad is the perfect summer lunch AND a great option for those of us watching our waistlines :-) I opted for whole kalamata olives (YUM) and mixed the red wine vinegar with a little olive oil and Mediterranean seasoning to beef up the dressing. I'm not a huge fan of garbanzo beans, but they add a nice touch of protein. I would prefer fresh tomatoes in this salad (and some cucumber) but all in all, it's an easy, satisfying dish.

Nice and easy salad for these horribly hot summer days, but it is definitely more "adult friendly" than kid friendly. I have a husband who loves olives and onions ... and kids who hate garbanzo beans, olives, onions, and sometimes lettuce. BUT, I tried this anyway in an effort to keep exposing them to various salads/vegetables in hopes that one day they'll fall in love. To make the salad a little more accessible for everyone's likes and dislikes, I served this "de-constructed," with all of the ingredients in little bowls. We were all able to make our own salads, adding what we liked and leaving off what we didn't. This method worked REALLY well for the kids and there was no complaining about any element. I did make one ingredient switch, choosing cannellini beans over garbanzo (personal preference here).

My husband and I loved this! Our kids were way too picky to eat it, but it really is a "grown-up" salad. It was SO easy and fast to make - definitely less than the15 minutes the recipe suggests it will take. I laughed at how simple the directions were - but it really is that simple! I love the taste of the Hunt's tomatoes, actually, I think I will drain them a little less next time so I can get more of that flavor! The garbanzo beans & lives added some wonderful textures, making this salad both tasty and FUN to eat! I love the red wine vinegar also but next time I think I'll do one tablespoon of red wine vinegar and one tablespoon of balsamic just to give it some extra kick. All in all a wonderful blend of tastes that I will definitely be making again..
