Although I don't like beans I could tolerate them in this recipe. It was awesome. Difficulty finding the kind of onions that they suggested so I used sweet onions. I like all the different ingredients but sometimes they can be hard to find in the grocery store. Will definitely make again.

Love this! It is easy and refreshing and my whole family enjoys it and has requested it several times. The dressing is a favorite and we have used it with other dishes as well.

This recipe is easy and delicious! I halved the amount of salt and substituted quinoa for the couscous, to make it a little healthier. It came out great! Will make again soon.

This is a wonderful substitution for a pasta salad and it was very refreshing. I added grape tomatoes for added color...very tasty.

I found the Fregola at our local specialty foods store, Grecos in Surrey, BC. This recipe was fantastic and esp enjoyed when warm. I made no changes as I wanted to try the real recipe first and don't think I would change a thing other then perhaps add a bit more parm.

I did like the dish but I do have some comments. I used orzo because I couldn't find the coucous or fregola. Second, I thought the salad was really lemony but not in the best way. The salad tasted a little bitter to me, I think there was too much lemon juice and I didn't even use lemon zest. If I were to make it again, I would use the zest only or maybe 1 lemon or half of a lemon. All in all this was a good dish. :

I found fregola (a roasted pasta from Sardinia in my local Italian market; at $5.99 for a one-lb bag I hesitated, but bought it anyway so I could follow the recipe exactly as written by Giada. The result was a delicious salad that was versatile enough to be served warm - which we liked better, or cold. The bold lemony flavor brought all the subtler flavors of the rest of the ingredients together beautifully. Great for a lunch salad all on its own or as presented, a wonderful side dish. I brought in a quart of the salad for my staff and they unanimously gave it great marks and asked for the recipe! I shall be trying the recipe with couscous, Vidalia or yellow onions (whichever I have on hand and substituting chopped cilantro for the chives to evaluate the difference. The results will be posted soon!
