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

    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.

    What a fantastic salad - I didn't have any salad onions so substituted thinly-sliced red onion instead. Gorgeous! We too ate the whole lot between 2......
