I actually changed this one a lot. I used canned chickpeas. I added the ingredients in a crockpot and let cook on low for several hours. Used a masher/fork to mash some of it after it was done and then added a little bit more spice. Used black olives and pureed onion instead of scallions. I can't remember why I did it that way, but there must have been a good reason. Oh well. Turned out great anyway!

I love this recipe!! It is so easy to make and delicious. I used cherry tomatoes ( cut in half) instead of regular and used red onion instead of scallions. This recipe is perfect for summer picnics.

Super easy and super yummy. I make this whenever I'm asked to bring food for a an occasion. I can't ever find pitted kalamata olives, so I slice up whatever I can find at the grocers that's pitted.

I just made this and it needs to chill for 4 hours. I can tell you right now we are going to LOVE this recipe. I really enjoy the cilantro and scallions with the chickpeas. The kalamata olives that I thought I hated, well my first jar of these olives must have been bad or I just did not like them in the soup recipe that I made. I love these olives and I put 12 of them in the salad. The scallions I used were very large so I only used 2. Evelyn thank you for this great recipe. I know my oldest DD will love it as much as I. She will surely pack a bowl of this in her lunch tomorrow, no doubt about it. I made this for ZWT III 2007 - North Africa/ Middle East Region.
