As a recipe's first reviewer one can sometimes be in unfamiliar territory without the benefit of others' remarks. As this recipe's first reviewer that wasn't an issue for me. While this is called a Lebanese Bean Salad it could just as easily be called an Italian Bean Salad for the ingredients the flavors are the same. I knew I'd love it! In my mind you just can't go wrong with the light dressing of olive oil and lemon. (Tho' I could take or leave the fava beans personally)
great flavor...added light kidney beans herbs de prvovince and some basil and lemon terragon...lots of compliments
I didn't have fava beans so I used red kidney beans- delicious!!! Love this simple easy to make bean salad! It has become a staple in our house- even my 4 year old daughters love it!
I loved this recipe. I added some tarragon because I like that fennel-like sweet taste that tarragon has and fennel would over-power this dish. I also added a splash of apple cider vinegar. The hubble liked it a lot too but I thought he was going to blast me out of the bed that night! So be warned. Beans can be a musical fruit AND a war horn. But then again they're purportedly good for your heart.
Delicious and easy to make. i omitted the parsley and added finely chopped green peppers, celery and sweet onion. I make this at the start of the week and take some for lunch daily. Such an easy addition, filling with lots of lean protein and fibre. :)
Very nice salad! I accidentally forgot the olive oil and it was still delicious. Next time I'll include the olive oil!??
LOVE IT! I ate too much lol. Fast easy and healthy. I had to sub lima beans for fava beans. This might become a regular.
I made this according to the recipe and it was really good. I served it as a side to Lebanese roast chicken and potatoes.
This is a very good very simple recipe. I LOVE garlic but this was a tad garlicy for someone who isn't crazy about. That's a plus to me though. I also added about 1/2 of a cup of frozen corn about a Tbs of red wine vinegar and about a half a cup of low fat feta on my second go around. These are all approximations as I just kinda poured in each ingredient until it looked good. Very good recipe that lends itself to personalization if desired.
