I left out the artichokes, lemon pepper, and red onion and used fresh oregano rather than dried. I used olive oil, not a lot, mixed with fresh lemon juice, salt, and the fresh oregano for the dressing. Overall, it was really good.

I used splenda rather than sugar and I added a few dashes of soy sauce, thus omitting the salt. After reading the reviews I expected something fabulous, but this just was blah. The dressing lacked something.

This is good....with some changes. One, you don't really have to use the slow cooker for this recipe, and I opted not to. I did soak the beans overnight first. I added a diced onion to this, and simmered that first, then added the beans, broth, and spices. I also added a few dashes of garlic powder as well as a can of green chiles. I smashed beans a bit with a potato masher after they were cooked. The soup is good. Nothing that I will crave, but it is good.
