Fantastic!!! The first batch I made, did not last pass 4 hours of chill time, before my family found it in the refrigerator. It was gone in the manner of minutes. So I'm make a double batch right now and maybe it might last pass dinner tomorrow night. I love the garlic in this and made sure I found 2 large cloves when I made it. I added 2 pinches of cayenne. This is a keeper!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game from August 12th, 2010

Kat, this is a real keeper!!! The chickpeas go so well with the garlic, parsley and added veggies! Mmmm, a healthy, easy and DELICIOUS lunch or side dish! :) Also a great change of pace from regular creamy hummus. I used a cucumber in place of the cherry tomatoes, cause I cant have those and you said a cuc would be a decent sub. It added a lovely freshness, which I really enjoyed!

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
