Chickpea & Feta Salad image

I love Mediterranean food and this fresh, colorful salad displays the best of that cuisine-feta cheese, crisp vegetables and a nice lemony flavor. Though wonderful any time of the year, I especially enjoy serving this in the spring.-Paula Althouse, Hamburg, Pennsylvania

This salad is not very well-balanced. There are too many chickpeas and not enough other ingredients.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. The flavors meld together even better after it's been sitting for a while.

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it balances out the strong flavor of the feta.
