Don Warburton on 2023-07-28 (5 stars): Thanks for this delightful recipe. It is really tasty and I am making it for a second time; for a church gathering. My sister is going to make it as well. Just Love It!
Michaela on 2023-07-17 (5 stars): Made this tonight. Added Greek Freak seasoning and roasted the red tomatoes myself (which added about 20 minutes of prep). But while they are cooking you can assemble everything else. Even my carnivore Husband filled up on this salad.
Pete on 2022-08-10 (5 stars): Have made this,only difference I left the chick peas out,really tasty
Llm on 2022-07-14 (4 stars): I made this just now, though as i was taught, i took liberty with the measurements but kept it near to author's recipe. It is quite refreshing in these hot summer months and the chickpeas make it quite filling fitting for a meal. Will make again!
