  1. Delicious fresh-tasting salad! My rating is based on directions. Several ingredients are missing quantities, and I would mince the garlic rather than tossing it whole. I used a 7-oz jar of roasted red peppers (yielded 6 oz. fruit), which I estimated was equivalent to 2.5 large red bell peppers in U.S. sizing, but per Barrinaga's website, their 1/4 K (8 oz) jar has 9-12 fruits, so perhaps I had enough. I used 3 hard-boiled eggs, and that seemed like the right amount. Lucky me, I had a ripe home-grown tomato! Made for Please Review My Recipe.

  4. I will start off by saying I had grown tired of chickpeas because I ate them on green salads every day. This recipe made me love them again! :) I like the simplicity of the dressing and that I always have all of the other ingredients on hand. This is a fantastic salad, Annacia! Thank you for sharing!
     
  5. This is a full meal in a bowl - and a lovely one at that. My whole family loves legumes - chickpeas in particular, so I knew I'd be making this salad as soon as I saw it for the tour. It proved to be an excellent choice. I did start with chickpeas that I'd soaked overnight and cooked myself. I used a good brand of jarred, roasted peppers available in Greece to make that step a little easier. Had this for lunch during a heatwave here in Greece and it was substantial without being heavy. A perfect summertime meal. Thanks Annacia.
