Added cucumber and garlic. Next time I might try balsamic and chickpeas and swap basil for oregano. Added some olive oil. Need fat for some of the fat soluble micronutrients to be metabolized. Good for easy meal prep!
Very good recipe – we’ll make it again! When I do, I will cut the amount of vinegar in half.
I made this for dinner last week and it was delicious! My husband liked it so much he requested we have it again for dinner this week. Definitely a recipe to keep!!
Delicious salad that everyone loved – even without oil!
Really delicious, not a huge fan of the tomatoes in this particular recipe but delicious all the same.
Great for meal prep. I used a can of artichoke hearts as I couldn’t find frozen ones. I was skeptical of a grain salad without oil, but this is just perfect.
What a delicious salad! It was a hit at a family dinner. The crunch of the bell peppers was a perfect addition to the texture of the dish.
The only addition I made was a drizzle of Trader Joe’s organic garlic olive oil to kick up the flavor a bit.
FYI: I tried to print the recipe out but when I click on the print icon & then click on “continue” nothing happens. : (
I had the same problem. If you attempt to print, check your download file. You should see a PDF with the name of the recipe.
An easy, healthy, flavorful meal.
