    I love this recipe so much, that when my husband is traveling, I will make up a big batch of it and eat it for lunch over 2 or 3 days. It is SO GOOD!

    I had to add red onion for some kick, added alot more cheese just to make it somewhat palatable. Just not for us, so I will not make it again. It was certainly easy, so I guess you just need to make it to your own taste.

    Hi Giada, love you and your show. Was so happy to get all the ingredients for this recipe. It was a bit bland to us. Have leftovers so will try and zip it up a bit tonight or for lunch. thank you for sharing your lovely home/recipes and family/friends with us. BJ

    This is my favorite salad! I recommend that the garlic and rosemary be simmered in the olive oil over very low heat for about 10 minutes to mellow the flavors and infuse the oil. This time I cooked dried cannellini beans with garlic and much prefered the firmer texture and richer flavor. I added the oil mixture to warm beans. Note that freshly cooked beans will absorb more of the oil mixture so make extra. I also cut the pecorino into smaller chunks; slightly less that 1/4 inch. I tried grating the cheese and it was a mistake. It ruined the appearance and texture of the salad. A previous reviewer is right - this keeps well if it lasts more than one day.

    Wow! I saw Giada make this recipe on TV and it looked so delicious I had to try it. My family couldn't get enough of it! The combination of the beans, herbs, and cheese was delicious. Great for a meal or a light, healthy snack. Keeps well too.

    I made this to accompany a heavy buffalo dinner with the intention of taking the remainder to work for lunches...HA! I will double the recipe next time. Also while I always have pecorino on hand (it is the only cheese I can tolerate is a bit expensive (lactose intolerant student! I chose to use maybe 3 oz and instead of 1/2" chunks I chopped to aprox 1/8" I could definetly still taste the flavor throughout. And since I didn't want to go out and buy the parsley I used cilantro- tasted great.

    Does anyone recall the name of the community garden where the show took place?

    Really yummy rosemary flavor. You have to like rosemary to like this, that being said, I thought it was refreshing, light, crunchy and yummy! Would definitely bring this for a potluck or have for lunch- would be good with fish or lamb too. I'll be making this again for sure.

    It looked good on tv, but tasted even better. The faint rosemary with the pecorino was unbelievable!!
