    Great recipe, and not too heavy. The only problem is you want more than one bowl!!

    Excellent! Really delicous but we did eat the amount for 4 between 2 of us but it was all so healthy and nutritious I did not feel remotely guilty.

    Really great bowl! It is a good size for lunch, but for dinner I recommend two eggs per serving and more beans. Stephen <a href="http://www.foodala.com>Foodala</a>

    As with the other suggestions, the portions are not really enough for a main meal, but it can easily be bulked out with more salad ingredients.
