Very easy, elegant for a side dish to take to parties. But for those not big into vinegar, add a pinch of sugar ( I use brown sugar ) to "soften" the vinegar taste.

Nice and healthy salad. The recipe is WAY off with measurements of vinegar so I am giving it 3 stars. I only had a 7.75 oz can of chickpeas so I scaled down the tomato, cucumber and onions. I only used 1/2 TEAspoon of both the vinegars and it still was kind of strong! Very good! Made for a great lunch.

Too much vinegar!!!! I am eating this right now for my lunch and I can barely finish the small container I have of it next to me. I think I might not eat what I have left at home. What a waste of food. Its easy to make but the amount of vinegar is way too much.

Just made it and it was quick and delicious! I tweaked it a bit, a la some other followers. I omitted (okay, forgot) the tomato, add a bit of seasoning (salt and pepper), used a dash of olive oil and used a quarter cup total vinegar, the majority red wine.

This is okay. It is quite simple, but I don't think you need that much vinegar, and I LOVE vinegar. I 1/4 it and I think it's too much--maybe I'm considering it more like a salad dressing and don't think it needs so much. Not bad, though, for flavor considering the simple ingredients. I added a bit of dill and used garlic instead of onion. Thanks for the recipe.

The first bite, I thought it was bland. But it tasted better and better every bite. My 2 year old and I had this for lunch today on a bed of red leaf lettuce. She thought it was great!

kind of a dull recipe. I love vinegar, particularly red wine vinegar, I also love chickpeas, but this recipe is just lacking a lot. I think if you want to have a good chickpea salad use chickpeas, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and red wine vinegar...plus whatever other normal salad toppings you like such as tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, bacon bits, etc.

Agreed, a good outline. I cut the vinegar in half, add some green pepper, lime juice, cilantro, green and jalapeno peppers...yum.

Rather than leaving all the chick peas whole, try coarsely smashing about half with a potato masher. It changes it up just enough.

Tasty, healthy recipe. I like it and have already made it a couple of times. I also used a lesser amount of the balsamic and red wine vinegar.

Upon the recommendation of the other reviewers, I also used less vinegar. It turned out fabulous. I would highly recommend this salad as a quick dish. It has a really balanced flavor that I wasn't expecting from so few ingredients. Definitely a winner! Thanks!

I liked the salad, but I made some of my own changes. First, no tomatoes, I added sweet red pepper instead. As for the vinegar, only about two tablespoons, and I didn't have any more balsamic left so I used Italian dressing. Tastes really good.

This is a good salad and a good way to get some fiber! Everyone else is right - you don't need that much vinegar! I used 1/8 cup of each plus added a bit of olive oil. I also added 1 tsp each of dried parsley and sugar and added salt and pepper to taste. I put in a couple ribs of celery and a tomato too. If you let it sit in the fridge for a bit it soaks up the dressing and is really quite nice.

I made this salad for our Mother's Day lunch and it was great. I made a few adjustments: 2 cans of garbanzo beans, seeded & chopped 1 samll cucumber, seeded & chopped 1 tomatoe, added 1 Tbsp dried minced onion, 1 tsp minced garllic, 2 ribs celery diced, 1/2 red bell pepper chopped, 1 tsp dried parsley, some fresh ground black pepper and I used bottled low fat Balsamic Vinagrette salad dressing. It was a big hit and I will definitely make this again.
