I came across this recipe because all i had to work with for dinner tonight was chickpeas and zucchini. I only had half a cup of quinoa, so I used some millet to make up the difference. WOW this was tasty. What a delicious cheap to make meal! Thanks!

Looks like a Lebanese dish we make with bulgur. I can’t wait to try quinoa.

I made this salad for my son’s end-of-year preschool picnic. It was a big hit, everyone gobbled it up, and I loved not worrying whether I was going to inadvertently poison anyone with a mayo-based dressing.

My dork moment in making the salad: when you said “press in the garlic” into the marinating chickpeas I thought you meant, you know, push them in there, firmly, while still whole. Not press as in use a garlic press. I just couldn’t figure out how the garlic flavor was going to get in there. After more mental gymnastics than I care to admit, I finally got that I was supposed to use a garlic press. Perhaps I shouldn’t be admitting this.

This looks so fantastic. I love the combination of quinoa and chickpeas…and then to add cumin and turmeric–sounds and looks delicious!

Perfect! Just the recipe I’ve been needing. My niece is gluten intolerant, and I’ve been needing more yummy recipes for her. I love all the flavors in this, and also adore chickpeas (or as the boys say “banzo beans”). Can’t wait to make it…have everything but the paprika on hand, but it sounds like that is an important flavor, so I’ll wait until I get to the market for that.

I tasted this salad last Saturday and can not stop reliving the experience in my mind. Delicious! I’m off to buy zukes now!
