    I served this warm(ish) serving it when the beans were just cooked and heated the dressing before pouring over. It was very popular.

    Served this with wedges of quiche for a road side picnic halfway through a rather long car journey. I loved it and it was a hit with the others too. Infinitly better and more interesting than soggy lettuce leaves! Think I might add some flaked tuna next time and serve it on it's own for lunch.

    A great one to take to work for lunch, with a bread roll or couple of slices of bread. I'm going to try adding some feta to it next time!

    Great salad. Used a small jar of sliced black olives for ease but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Loved the dressing. Would lend itself well to adding other ingredients but good as is too.
