I made a few substitutions...used navy beans instead of white kidneys...used green onion instead of regular onion..used sesame oil instead of olive oil... and added extra cilantro...this was a hit! My picky 11 yr old LOVED it! She said it reminded her of her favorite cucumber salad from the Thai restaurant...we will definitely make this dish again soon!

A bit bland for my tastes. I think it needs something more, but I haven't figured out what yet.
