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.
