Chickpea Salad

:  March/April 2007, The EatingWell Diet (2007)

Your rating: None Average: 4.2 (31 votes)

Feta cheese and chickpeas lend a Mediterranean flair to this satisfying side salad. The Creamy Dill Ranch is great with it, but would also be good with a tangy vinaigrette.


READER'S COMMENT:
"A quick, great tasting salad. I made a simple lemon and olive oil dressing instead of the creamy dill ranch. A nice break from the traditional leafy green salads! "
