I thought this was pretty tasty...I FINELY diced the red onion and only used about a quarter cup for the whole recipe, which worked well because, to me, red onion tends to get a "bite" to it after it's sat for a while so I didn't want that to happen...as I did it, this worked just fine. We enjoy chickpeas in this house, so thanks for posting a new recipe for us!

    I served this as an appetizer salad, added sliced black olives for a bit more color contrast. Very good and impressive.

    Very nice salad! The lemon juice adds a nice tang. I agree with Missy Wombat that the pesto quality is VERY important.
