This was particularly tasty the next day with some feta cheese! I love chick pea salads and can never get enough :) Had leftovers for breakfast, heh heh. Chopping took me more like 20 minutes though, and the local stores had no fresh mint, so I used dried. 1/2 cup EVOO seemed like way too much, so I reduced that to a small fraction and upped the balsamic vinegar to 2 tablespoons (personal preference). Thanks Rita!

Jan 5, 2010: I really enjoyed this salad for a light dinner today. It has a lovely combination of flavours and especially the parsley is very yummy with all the veggies. I would have liked it to have more chickpeas in it, though and found that two cloves of garlic were a little overpowering. Maybe Ill roast them next time. Oh, and I reduced the oil considerably, which didnt harm the recipe in my opinion. All in all this is a nice salad, that I will definitely add to my salad routine. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing your lovely recipe with us, ~Rita~! Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #18 January 10. Jan 7, 2010: Now I know why I didnt feel the salad had enough chickpeas. The amount listed when making the recipe said a 2 ounce can instead of 20. lol Ive changed my rating upwards now.
