My Review
Average Rating
"Prepared as directed. The response from folks, "It's okay". It was a lot of work for "okay"."
"Delicious! I used Israeli couscous instead, because that's what I had at home. I couldn't stop eating it!"
"Absolutely fabulous! easy to make and really good for you!! This is a regular for me now!!"
"I am always skeptical of recipes that are Texas adapted, but this is great. A good hearty salad or a vegetarian lunch. I substituted black eyed peas for black beans and cherry tomatoes, but still great. For a Texas taste, use queso fresco, not feta."
"Interesting combination of flavors"
"I prepared this recipe for a food demo highlighting healthy grains. I used quinoa instead. Very nice, the feta cheese gave it nice tang. Beautiful colors"
"We enjoyed this recipe last night along with grilled lamb. The recipe is very easy to make...directions are clear...except one step is missing...doesn't say how to prep the tomatoes, but I chopped them like the other veggies. I used feta cheese and parsley instead of cilantro. I would make this recipe again and again."
"Very nice. I took it to a pot luck and everyone enjoyed it. The black beans add a nice colour contrast."
