  Finally, I've tracked this recipe down again! It's one I've used before &, in moving countries, lost! A great one to accompany BBQ food, it travels well undressed - we've used it while camping!

  Tried this last night, what a lovelly recipie. I thought peeling broad bean skins was going to be a really task and a half, but it was so easy. The flavours in this bean and tomato salad reminded me of summer, the dressing goes so well with it. This recipie has definately earned it's place in my recipie index box for another day. Thanks Sophie!

  I'm vegetarian and eat chickpea salads all the time in the summer and this is a real winner. I gave it 4 stars because it took me 1/2 hours to shell the broad beans (I bought a store brand and there very small broad beans). It's faster when they're frozen although you freeze your fingers. Perhaps it's worth paying a bit more for already cooked and shelled. I put about less than 150g of French beans because after cutting them you end up with a lot. The dressing is the key! I added also a bit of tomato purée with chilli. This salad goes well with mixed lettuce. Will add tunafish with the leftovers.

  Used it as a base, which sometimes works and sometimes not at all! This time it was just lovely. I added sundried toms, olives, capers, out of basil but used lots of fresh parsley and added splash of chilli oil and marinated peppercorns, garlic croutons and big garlic glove in dressing. oh i forgot the mint, mabe just as well, enough flavours in there.
