This recipe is very similar to what my friend from India makes. She doesn't use a recipe and just throws things in a bowl so it is hard for me to get recipes from her. I did use both red and yellow peppers (for added color) and halved the recipe but other than that I followed the recipe to a "T". My friend also makes this same recipe using canned corn in place of the chickpeas. She always has something interesting and new and I always look forward to eating at her house! Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make again and again.

I really liked this - left out the bell pepper and added a bunch of diced fresh tomatoes instead. Next time I will also add some feta cheese. Also used fresh basil instead of cilantro. Loved the fresh taste the ginger creates :)

This was just amazing. I adapted it as follows: (1) Halved the recipe; (2) Did not use onion; (3) Added an extra splash of lemon juice and vinegar (and used cider vinegar; didn't have white-wine); (4) 1/4 heaping teaspoon of ground ginger (didn't have fresh), a little extra cumin, and only a pinch of cayenne; (5) substituted one can of chickpeas for a can of rinsed black beans - was low on chickpeas; and finally (6) added some sliced meaty green olives, marinated in olive oil only, from an Armenian store. Really fabulous salad!

This was surprisingly bland, I'm sorry to say. With the interesting ingredients, I expected it to be very flavorful, but I could really only taste the garlic. To be fair, I only marinated it for 1.5 hours, but I've had other chickpea dishes that marinated for less time and were more flavorful. Maybe with more time, this dish would be better, but I don't plan to make it again.

Recipe was great, but even better when mixed with PJ's Fresh Corn Salad. The crunch of the corn and peppers along with the garbanzo beans was a very nice blending of flavors and textures.

Looking for something new to bring to our weekly family lunches, I stumbled upon this interesting looking recipe. All I can say is that it was easy to make (although a bit time consuming), and a huge hit!!! Everyone FLIPPED for the bean salad and it flew off the table. Now this item is a must have. Its light and great for the summer. To make the salad more colorful, I used all different kinds of beans instead of just garbanzos. Enjoy!
