Found this recipe a few months ago in the winter and we loved it. I have been making it almost every week now that summer is on its way!

Wonderful recipe. Made as a side for chicken souvlaki and it was a perfect pairing. Will definitely become a regular in our family’s kitchen!

Fabulous salad! Since I made it for the first time I have been making it twice weekly. In fact, I cooked a whole bag of beans, portioned it and frozen it to be ready whenever I want to have it. Thank you for a great recipe👌❤️

WOW! What an amazing tomato and white bean salad. I listened to your advise and made it with tahini and let it sit in the fridge. White beans soaked some of the salad dressing making every bite delectable. This is such a great salad that I will be making often. Next I will try your kofte. I hope it tastes as good as the street food I had in Istanbul. Love your blog. Thank you.
