malikk1@yahoo.comThe chickpeas were a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for a little longer next time.

r_moses@yahoo.comI found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some fresh herbs.

m.g71@hotmail.comThis salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or chickpeas. I also like to add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing for extra creaminess.
