Absolutely wonderful. As with anything you can adjust to meet your own personal preferences. I omitted the bay leaf, and the crumbles. I am vegan, and gluten free, so it's hard and expensive to find the crumbles. I also used a can of fire-roasted tomatoes in place of the can of crushed tomatoes. It made it superb, IMO. Luv me some garlic, and used double the amount ... I made the recipe for "4" and have enough for "8" and only used kidney and black beans. This guy in my office who ONLY eats meat and potatoes said it looked delish. That says something! Also, I was skeptical there was no broth. I promise, it turns out fine.

This is off the charts good. The artichokes make it your not so average bean salad. The flavors were absolutely outstanding. I served this over rice. Recipe said served 8- I did at a luncheon and purposely put it out a little late. I ate this salad in 4 days! Served over rice, perfect.

Great recipe. Very simple, quick to make. Much more healthy than a traditional cole slaw recipe which I find to be repulsive. I think it might taste good with some herbs in it too; perhaps some fresh parsley.
