My husband's verdict: Excellent! I added more feta, as others suggested, and reduced the olives and cucumber by half (personal preference). Will definitely make again. I'll add some parsley next time. UPDATE: I've been making this salad all summer, and I can't make it fast enough. It disappears almost as soon as it's made!

This was awesome! I didn't have feta cheese, so I used a marinated goat cheese instead, and it was incredible. I will definitely make this again.

This is really pretty good. I don't normally like garbanzo beans but all the ingredients together make a tasty salad. Even my three-year-old liked it and she usually doesn't like anything.

Yum! I omitted the black olives and used balsamic vinegar and olive oil as the dressing. So healthful!

Pretty good. I used 1/2 of an english cucumber and a sundried tomato dressing, otherwise followed the recipe. I thought the flavors were great together but would add more feta cheese next time. I'll make again with some modifications. The cucumbers were a little soggy the next day but still edible.

I followed the Helpful reviews and added more feta, thank goodness because I'm not sure I could have taken the salad without the extra cheese. I omitted less than half the olives and half the cucumber. When cutting the cucumber, the recipe says, cut in half, then into slices. Those peices seemed far too big in my opinion, so I quartered the cucumber and sliced and the peices were still too big! If I make this again, I'd skin and seed the cucumber and slice/dice it into small peices that were equal to the size of the garbanzo bean. This wasn't my cup of tea, I brought it to a very small family function and only three people even attempted it because the rest could see the red onion and had already planned to avoid anything with onion. I recieved compliments, but I'm not sure what *I* thought of it. I never give up so easily, so I'll probably try this again later, in a suitable occasion where I don't actually have to impress anyone. I'll see what changes I can make to this recipe to make it perfect for my own kind of taste.

This was pretty good. I used about 8oz of olives rather than 15oz and it was plenty. I also used 4oz of feta rather than 1oz, and used low-fat Italian dressing. It made for a good lunch all week!

I actually make a very similar salad that always comes out delicious. In addition to what is here, I add red bell peppers and some fresh basil and spinach (because I had some on hand) and some dried oregano. I omitted the garlic because I take it for lunch and didn't want garlic breath. Also terrific with reduced fat feta. For dressing I used lemon juice, white vinegar, and a couple tablespoons of olive oil.

I'm a huge fan of chick peas and loved this recipe. I added a few spoonfuls of parmesan and used a zesty italian dressing. Was much tastier the next day and I had it for lunch all week!

Very good. I added more feta and used diced roma tomatoes, but it would have been great as-is. Nice recipe.

My husband doesn't like beans and he loves this! My changes were: half garbanzo and half black beans, 5-8oz of feta, 10-15 halved kalamata olives, oregano, and yellow bell pepper for color. Yummy! Thanks Kim.

Very good. I did also cut down on the olives (about 1/2 can, increased the tomatoes and served the feta on the side as I don't care for it. But it was easy, different, healthy and tasty. I served with the Souvlaki recipe from this site which is excellent!

This was a big hit. I now know what I'll be bringing to BBQs this summer. I took the advice of others and halved the olives and increased the feta to 3 oz or so. I also added 1tsp of dried oregano.
