"This tastes wonderful with all sorts of meals - especially anything done on the bbq. The beans do need to be soaked overnight."

  1. It's the dressing that makes this such a WOW recipe, the cumin really pumps up the flavor factor. I have used different vegetables in this, although always with chickpeas, and it's always good. I usually add cucumber, bell pepper (any color), and a little chopped fresh cilantro and flat leaf parsley (both). If it's for home (not a get together) I usually serve it on top of greens. Thank you for a great recipe.
     
  2. I was looking for something light for lunch and this really hit the spot! All of the flavors worked so well together. I only had a can of garbanzo beans so I used that instead of dried. Ate some on lettuce as a salad and at some just as it was. It got better with each day it sat in the fridge :) :)
     
  3. This makes a very good and easy salad. The cumin seemed a little stronger the day after, so next time I will use slightly less (actually, I used slightly more than the ingredient list's amount, so the recipe is fine.) Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
     
  4. Reviewed for ZWT9- Made as written, except that I soaked my chickpeas overnight and then cooked in the pressure cooker. A lovely salad that makes a great side
     
  5. This is very clean and very nice

  1. I love this recipe!! It is so easy to make and delicious. I used cherry tomatoes ( cut in half) instead of regular and used red onion instead of scallions. This recipe is perfect for summer picnics.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
