===Alternatives===
Try a variety of [[beans]], most beans work very well in a salad like this. [[Butter beans]], [[chick peas]]. [[kidney beans]] etc. Dried beans are good too if you remember to prepare them ahead of time.

Try [[cumin seeds]] instead of [[fennel seeds]]
===Chef's note===
If you can't find [[sherry vinegar]], then try harder as it's an invaluable condiment Or use [[red wine vinegar]] with a pinch of sugar!
