This quick easy and healthy salad is packed with fresh flavor. I highly recommend trying this great recipe. I made two minor changes. I reduced the amount of olive oil to one tablespoon and did not add cumin. Wonderful! Read More

Sorry maybe we're just not fans of fava beans. When I opened the can of favas I saw that they had this thick goop all over them. I tried to wash it off but it wouldn't rinse away. So when I put everything together it was still thick and goopy. Maybe that's just how favas are; I don't know. We liked the rest of the stuff. Read More

This salad was fantastic! Rinsing the beans in a strainer under running water prevents the "goopy" problem another reviewer had mentioned. Read More

This recipe is FABULOUS! I made it without the oil and used canned diced tomatoes (drained) instead of fresh tomatoes. Also used more parsley (about half of a full bunch - a cup or more). Read More

Do not reduce the olive oil or increase the lemon juice. Safad's vinaigrette is perfect. Just whisk the garlic olive oil and lemon juice in a separate bowl and pour over the chopped ingredients. Do not use canned tomatoes or mushrooms in this salad. They will introduce textural problems. And don't leave out the cumin. It adds a nice note to the flavor profile. This is an excellent recipe!

I found this to be good although my husband didn't care too much for the dressing- too much lemon. Read More

This recipe is 5. You should go to an egyptian/mediterrainian store to get the canned fava beans. Buy the small ones. Awesome! Read More
