Loved this salad! Great flavours and my whole family loves chickpeas, so I knew this would be a winner. Left the water out of the dressing as I stuffed this into warmed whole-wheat pita breads. This is one of those 'recipes' that makes me feel good at so many different levels while eating it.

WOW! This was wonderful! A new favorite. I thought it was beautiful...but yes the sauce makes it a little less vibrant. The flavors are outstanding. It's tangy but I like that. I followed the recipe exactly except I may have added some extra cilantro and mint. Next time I will try chopping the onion to make it easier to eat. Thank you for this healthy, flavorful, keeper recipe Jewelies! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. (Also...I've never liked garbanzo beans much except in hummus...now I've found another way to eat them and love them!)

I was looking for something that I could whip up using items in my pantry to take to a BBQ on short notice; this fit the bill! I used half of a red onion, 1 very large tomato and the zest and juice of one lemon, didn't have any coriander leaves so left those out. I was surprised that this went over so well at the BBQ (my DP's are almost fearful of vegetarian/organic food), but they gobbled this right up without even noticing the tahini (which I'm sure they've never had before). I used the full amount and I thought it was just right!

Delicious! I made this exactly as written, and there isn't much I would change next time around (I may use less red onion next time, but my onion was pretty big). I love the flavor of the fresh mint in this. We also used this salad in sandwiches with pita bread. Yum!

I made this to share with a vegan friend and we both enjoyed it. I used a bit less onion and loved the flavor from the herbs. I also enjoyed this the next day and it was equally good. Thank you Jewelies.

I really liked this chickpea and tahini salad! I made it ahead and had it chill overnight and the flavors tasted wonderful the next day. I did add a dash of Braggs Liquid Aminos, but otherwise followed the recipe as is. Made for make my recipe tag.

Attractive and refreshing salad that makes a wonderful vegetarian main dish. I used chopped grape tomatoes since it's impossible to find decent tomatoes this time of year. Suggest making ahead to let flavors blend. Thanks, Jewelies, for a great recipe!

How easy is this? As easy as it is delicious! Didn't change a thing except to add some lemon zest along with the lemon juice (I'm not going to let the peel on that juiced lemon go to waste!).

Very good! We'll definitely make this again. I added more garlic than was called for, and added a half-teaspoon of salt. I also think I'll chop the red onion next time, rather than simply slice it — I'm a messy eater, and I find that the dressing tends to spatter off the long onion slices. Loved the flavor!

This is excellent. I love chick peas and I'm always pleased to find yummy new ways to use them. I used chopped onion as suggested by another reviewer and I had to use dried mint but it was still lovely. This will be a perfect summer meal. It's very fresh tasting and healthy, I seasoned with a bit of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. This is a keeper.
