This is a good salad. I used a bit less Italian dressing but I changed NOTHING else. Fast, easy and delicious!

Nice and refreshing! =] I made only a couple of changes. I had a carton of cherry tomatoes, so I just went ahead and used all of it. I also had a 5 oz. container of feta cheese, and probably would have used all of that too, except I wanted to save a little bit for another salad. I left out the onion, but only because I don't care for them. The only real suggestions I would make is to add more feta, and probably use less Italian dressing. I think it turned out a little too mushy with the amount this recipe called for. Perhaps add it little by little to see what consistency you are happy with.

I agree, very tasty and the different textures make every mouthful a treat! I didn't want to add salt so just whisked fresh garlic in with the dressing. Quick, easy and healthy!

My next door neighbors and I barbeque every Wednesday nite after work..her husband brings whatever meat and does the cooking and I make the sides. This was the best we ever tasted. I added some green pepper. It is the talk of the neighborhood..everybody wants some now.

Ok so maybe im just not a fan of garbanzo beans or maybe its the combination of the veggies with the garbanzo beans. Im not sure but theres something about this salad that i wasnt fond of.I cut the recipe in half (just one can) and the salads still sittin in the fridge. I wont be making this again.

I enjoyed this recipe. I did add extra feta as others suggested and a sprinkle of dried dill as well. I used a Good Seasonings packet to make the Italian dressing caled for in the recipe and it turned out well. It was good and I will make it again. I ate it with toasted pita wedges as a light summer dinner. Yum!

I made this as a side for a BBQ this weekend. Loved it! I increased to 4-6 oz fresh feta packed in water, 2 English cucumbers (probably more than called for but I love cucumber)and pitted kalamata/greek olives. This would be a great option if you have a vegetarian in the group. I made it because I've OD'd on ribs, BBQ chick, hamburgers/hotdog, coleslaw, potato salad and wanted a lighter fare option. No one noticed I only had a small piece of meat, this salad and a couple other sides. I'm going to be making this a lot! Thanks!

Well, when a recipe has almost every one of your favorite ingredients (chickpeas, cukes, olives, etc.) how can it miss? I'm eating my second bowl of this as we speak, and the flavors are near perfect. My modifications were minor. I used just 1 English Cucumber (they are very long!) and like others, I put in more Feta than it called for (probably closer to 3 or 4 ounces) and sprinkled a bit more on when I ate it, just to have it be nice and crumbly. This is very light, refreshing and 'cool' tasting and quite healthy. Seems to me, you could easily make it a main dish by adding some chopped up rotisserie chicken.

Very delicious. I skipped the italian dressing but used 4 oz of feta, extra lemon juice, extra tomatoes, fresh kalmata olives and a drizzle of olive oil. Colorful, refreshing and healthy.

I followed this recipe exactly and it was great. Well, actually, I did not put the cucumbers in until just before I was going to serve it since I thought they may get soggy if I put them in when I mixed the dressing in almost 8 hours before I was ready to serve it. Served it on the 4th and it was a big hit! Many thanks to you Kim!!

This was good + easy to make. I used Kalamata olives (chopped into bits) and added more feta otherwise followed the recipe. I seeded the cuke to help cut down juices & keep a firmer texture. Next time I will not add the feta until I'm ready to serve because as I stirred the dressing in it got kind of milky/gooey and I like the firm crumbles. Even better if you chill 2-4 hours! Served it with warmed pita triangles on a Romaine leaf [which we rolled up and ate after finishing the salad!]

Great dish, but I do love Greek! I added more feta (my favorite cheese) and also used Ken's Greek dressing. Added oregano and some dried mint. Excellent flavor. Will make often.
