Lovely, healthy plate of salad.
Oh, I bet the chili in this salad was just fantastic!
a perfect chickpea salad. yum!
I love chickpeas. Once I get a taste of them, I can't stop eating. There is a deli by me that makes a pasta salad that is very similar to this--I think I like it even better with chickpeas!
This is a great recipe for my healthy eating, I am trying to add more healthy food to my diet :)
*kisses* HH
Oh I like chickpeas! And feta cheese through it sounds delicious! Definitely great for lunch but it'd probably be a light snack for me haha :D
Beautiful pictures as always and an interesting recipe to boot.
A fantastic salad Angie. Beautiful Mediterranean combination!

Healthy and tasty salad..loved the ingredients u used to make them more delicious!

great salad recipe ..lovely click
I made chickpea salad this week Angie! But I like yours better! Such great flavors to pair with chickpeas!
The good news is - I'll have chives in a month. But until then - I have all the rest and think it a grand winter salad - hearty, nourishing, colorful and delicious.
Angie-As you know, I use feta a lot, and also love chickpeas. Pairing the two, is a "marriage made in heaven"...love your version of the chickpea salad. Thanks for sharing!
This salad is right up my alley! love the touch of heat and the cheese added ; next time I am using these ingredients in mine!
love this so healthy and easy to make
Love this dish. A great way to eat chickpeas and anything with feta is perfect for me.
This salad can be a whole meal with the chickpeas. Looks yummy.
This dish brought back memories of old times when we used to buy steamed chickpeas from the old uncle across the street...very healthy and delicious snack! Of cos, yours looks so much grander and much more tastier no doubt!
You remind me for the chickpeas that sell by Indian guy. Yours sound so healthy.
I have been a chickpea fanatic! This looks wonderful, I'll have to get some sundried tomatoes, thanks!
Now this looks like a nice hearty and flavorful salad that I could sink my teeth into!
This is definitely a salad that will satisfy. Love chickpeas!
Salad looks wonderful. Am sure going to try this.
I love sun-dried tomatoes and chickpeas are the perfect blend of delicious, healthy, and hearty. This is a salad that's just right for me!
What a nice combo for salad!! Perfect as my lunch now after having a great feast during CNY. ;)
I love chickpeas. What a wonderful way to prepare them. I bet they taste delicious with the sundried tomatoes and feta, healthy too...just what I need:)
Oh, this looks delicious. I have a large bag of dried chick peas, I will have to make this. Great salad!
I'm a big fan of chickpeas. I don't buy them in the can anymore because the texture of dried beans once they are soaked and cooked is so much better. Delightful salad!
Kristi
Oh what a heavenly combination of flavors Angie and I would love some of this with a piece of that marvelous foccacia :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
Just so happens I have all the ingredients on hand to make this luscious looking salad. Tomorrow even!
I love how simple this salad is! A perfect meal to take to work for lunch all week long. Tasty and nourishing!
These are such great flavors together! And, I love chickpeas. Sounds like a great salad!
Love all kinds of peas. This chickpea salad is worth trying!
Love feta and chickpeas! Great idea for a side.
I think I don't have to explain more... since Sonia & Jeannie already spoke out! :o) Your version is more flavourful compare to the plain ones we had here. And thanks for sharing it. Hope you're having a great day ahead.
Cheers, Kristy
p/s how was your new year days on your side?
All I need to hear is sundried tomatoes and feta...I'm sold! Ryan and I adore chickpeas, so I know this salad will be a hit. Thank you for sharing tonight! I hope you have a great Monday, my friend.
Chick peas are awfully addictive little things, aren't they? This looks amazing. :)
Big fan of chickpeas. Love this salad.
I love chickpeas and to have this in a salad with feta, wow!
LOVE this salad! I'm a chickpea lover. Love your salads as usual. Wish i have half your salad making skill! Hehee.
Been wanting to comment on your entries, but grrr.. the iPhone doesn't allow me!
A easy to prepare and interesting salad.
I love every ingredient in this salad. For some reason chives are a surprise but love it all. I could eat this every day. Would love more bean/lentil ideas as they're a staple for me.
One of my favs, chickpeas! This salad looks yummy! Have you made balela yet? One of my favs to add to so many dishes! Off to look at your pine nut foccacia...can I move in with you and write, you feed me...
I'm such a fan of chickpeas. The feta and sun dried tomatoes are a wonderful combination of zippy flavor. Yum!
What a great mixture - I can taste it while I read it. Weirdly, though, I originally misread it as CHICKEN with feta and sundried tomatoes, which I'm also going to try! Thanks for the inspiration, and a great food blog.
I think I said this to you about your brussel sprouts recipe - the last one. It sounded familiar, and this one does, too. It must be something very similar to another dish you have already made. I have a memory like an elephant, and if it sounds good, I remember. I made a similar one, and it is yummy.
:)

This salad is a real comfort zone for me...especially since all the ingredients satisfy me ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
I'm a big chickpea as well as feta cheese fan. This sounds perfect for me.
Love this! Anything with tomatoes and feta are automatically delicious! :)
I love it! What a fantastic array of flavors and textures,
plus so healthy :)
Ooh, this looks so delicious, Angie! And I like the way it has no oil in the recipe-that's always nice and appropriate for a salad like this that is already so rich and delicious on its own. Yeah!
This is definitely something I could happily have, I love all the ingredients!
