A fresh, summery and delicious salad!

Absolutely adore you kitty - guarding the cucumbers. :-)
Divine salad Angie. I have just starting planting my Spring veggies - think I must also grow some cucumbers.
Have a beautiful and happy day.

Wow, you are lucky to have home grown cucumbers. No doubt they taste wonderful. Your salad looks very inviting too, love the yogurt dressing.
I love such a salad we usually pair with rice. I also have make my version, pretty much with similar inviting flavours.
Awww, your kitty is adorable. Your home grown cucumbers look awesome. And this chickpeas and cucumber salad look so full of amazing flavors. And that yogurt dressing is a lovely addition to this salad. :)
Wow you grow your own cucumber?. Anything with chickpeas is puuuurfect in my books.....like your cute kitty!
Nice, light and tasty - A perfect summer lunch!
Angie I love this salad! I love that you grew your own cucumbers too. We are covered up with them and have given away so many - wish I could share with you! I can't wait to try this yogurt dressing - it sounds wonderful. Have a lovely week!
healthy and comforting salad
This is a wonderful way to use all those summer cucumbers. Love all the textures and flavors going on!
Great lunch for sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine. Homegrown cucumbers to boot! Very nice!
Oh wow your cucumbers look great, in a pot on the balcony? Got to try next year. And that salad looks perfect for lunch.
Angie this sounds delicious, reminds me of a tomato, cucumber and yogurt salad my mom makes often - delightfully delicious!
Your cat is so cute! I love cucumbers and chickpeas together! This salad sounds delicious and so fresh!
What a beautiful, crunchy, sweet and perfect salad Angie, summer at it's best. Love your cucumber plant!!!!
Great job on the cucumber plant! This salad looks summery and delicious.
les saveurs me tentent beaucoup
bonne soirée
I could eat a whole cucumber in one sitting---so this salad is right up my alley! Perfect for my lunches this week. Thanks, Angie!!
Sounds like the perfect salad. I love the dressing that you added to the salad. Really yummy!
beautiful and delicious salad. perfect summer recipe!
Simple and refreshing salad, perfect for summer. :D
Healthy and delicious salad. I am inspired to grow cucumber in a pot too!
fantastic ingredients, and i'm loving your simple but satisfying dressing! hello kitty! :)
What a great idea for a salad! I think the crunchiness of the cucumbers would help my husband (with texture issues) not notice the texture of the chickpeas, and then he could just enjoy the flavors as much as I do.
What a lovely salad, and so healthy. I love that you grow your cucumbers in a pot. I kill just about every plant I come near. I love the kitty also!
I absolutely love this salad! It's so refreshing and looks beautiful! :) My family ate major salad people and anything with yoghurt is loved. Thanks for sharing xx
This is such a lovely and light salad perfect for brunch, lunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner.
By the way I have not been receiving your email updates when a new post comes out. I'm not sure why. Any idea?
Great cucumber recipe and great cat too, Angie! Your salad looks and sounds delicious. Good for you with growing your own cucs, we did that for years until the yard was too shady. Have a great day!
@Vicki Bensinger So sorry, Vicki. I wish I knew what happened to your email sub. Maybe you can try to resub..sometimes it works.
Oh my goodness, I'm completely jealous of your cucumber plant!! I can only imagine how delicious those homegrown beauties taste! This salad is fabulous, Angie! I am addicted to chickpeas and I love cucumbers, so this is calling my name!! Cheers, friend!
I love chickpeas and cucumber! Would definitely want to make this healthy salad for sure!
such a refreshing salad! love it!
I'm not even a fan of chickpea but your salad looks so delicious! I guess I have to give the chickpea a second chance! ;)
I love chickpeas Angie!
And my daugther too.
Hugs
For once, I have all the ingredients, colorful, healthy and delicious salad..
This salad looks perfect for summer. I love this chickpea cucumber combo :)
Very fresh, the perfect summer salad!
I love the flavors in this salad - cucumber,chick peas, red pepper. Delicious. Beautiful cat.
This is perfect for a hot summer day. It must be lovely, I will try it.
Love this Angie. And what's great is I usually have all the ingredients in my pantry or fridge to make it!
Adore the cat! Fantastic looking salad too. I'm a chickpea fan. You can toss them into almost anything to make a meat-free meal.
Yum, this salad looks so good. Can't get enough of the chilled salads this summer and I can't wait to try this!
Oh wow you grow your own cucumbers and in a pot too! Salad looks great.
Great, fresh seasonal salad! Looks wonderful. Indians make a very similar salad with a bit of spice and it's wonderful too. I like having this for breakfast instead of sweet yoghurt.
Love everything about this salad, but what I love the most is that 1/2 cup of fresh mint! It's becoming one of my favorite ingredients.
Chickpeas are a great addition to any salad.
Love your cat!
This salad looks absolutely delicious! I love chick peas.
This looks like such a fresh and creamy salad all at the same time!! Really loving that yogurt.
I am having trouble commenting with my iphone6 on your lovely blog. At first it was only Safari that would allow me to leave a comment but now it too is acting up.
This salad looks like the perfect combination of vegetables. It looks pretty darn delicious!
what a georgeous, healthy salad, I love it! And your cat is so cute<3
I bet chick peas and cucumber are really good together, even better that it's homegrown!
I love adding chickpeas to a salad for a vegetarian protein boost. This dressing sounds like it would go perfectly with it too.
Your cucumber plant is so healthy looking and I see you have quite a few cukes on the vine.
Great for summer. I'd better try it soon. Fall will be here before I know it!
I love chick pea in salad but I have never tried a combination like this! I can't wait to try.
be to discover in a village like that!
Thanks so much for sharing

I'm jealous of your giant patio cuke --- and the salad's pretty sweet, too :)
This is my type of meal during summer!
So simple, yet such a stunning salad! I could eat this every single day :)
Pinned of course!
Delicious salad! Your homegrown cucumbers are gorgeous! I'm waiting for mine to fruit!
Our cucumbers are in (and the mint is a bush) so this is perfect. I love the kitty and the cukes (of course).
Just forgot to say: I love the photo of your cat! I am a real cat lover myself too.
This sounds so fabulous, light and refreshing! I love it!
What a great salad! I see you have lots of cukes, too! Mint is a perfect companion, is it not?
This is such a delicious, light summer salad! Great recipe Angie, I can't wait to try it! Your cat is beautiful too! <3
Nothing like picking cucumbers that you grew yourself! They don't get any fresher than that - I bet they made the salad extra delicious. I love seeing your kitty! Sending him smooches.
What a beautiful summer salad - I love the fresh mint!
I am so admiring your cucumber plant! This is a great salad, Angie and nothing beats homegrown! ^.^
Angie...I'm so envious of your cucumbers! I didn't get around to planting a garden this year. Only herbs on my deck. But I have plenty of chickpeas on hand. And so I'm eager to try this salad! :)
One of my fav salads ever. So filling and yet fresh :)
Wow! This salad is so refreshing.
Very nice, fresh and wholesome, I love the addition of garlic to the yoghurt dressing, thank you for sharing 8)
So delicious looking, Angie! A yogurt dressing and mint are great flavor accompaniments. How cool to grow cucumbers in a pot on your deck. Lovely!
Loving your home-grown cucumber and the cute kitty :)
So fresh with home-grown cucumber, and this is the kind of salad (and dressing) I hv been making these days.
This could easily be my favorite salad... so delicious! I made something similar too with some pomegranate arils and apple added... :)
Homegrown veggies are the best and your cucumber plant is such a success! That's really exciting! I've got baby poblano peppers growing for the first time and I can't wait to use them when they're ready. This salad looks really fresh and delicious, Angie! Yum :)
Feast to the eyes and tongues - especially when the cucumber is homegrown.
I just bought a few cucumbers, so I'll be trying this salad! Love the protein of the chickpeas added. Great salad, Angie!! I've recovered from my 2 surgeries now, so I'll be commenting again! Thanks for your patience!
