What a great summer salad!!! So light and refreshing. A great make-ahead dish when you are having a crowd over. Everyone loved the combination of ingredients. I especially liked the garbanzo beans mixed in with the cucumbers! I have made a copy of this to put in my "keeper" recipe notebook. Thank you so much for sharing this great salad.

This was lite and easy. DH had the leftovers later, and his only comment was that it could use some Avacado.

Great recipe.. I had extra corn on the cob left over, so I cut the corn off the cob and added to the salad.. Excellent sweet addition !!!! Great the next day !!!! Will definitely make again.

good refreshing summer salad. i made this for a light dinner today, and it was filling enough that i didn't eat or crave anything else for the rest of the evening. i added some plum tomatoes and more lemon juice than called for. i also thought that it needed some kick so i added some freshly ground cumin powder to pique the flavor. had it over some torn romaine.

Easy salad to prepare that was finished by 2 adults and a preschooler in one sitting. I used flaxseed oil and olive oil for the dressing as I am really trying to increase my omega 3 consumption and that worked well.

This was excellent! I did make some changes though. I was making it for a party, so I tripled the recipe. I used three very large cukes and 2 lg cans + 1 sm can of garbanzo beans, and I think the ratio came out perfect (I think 3 lg cans of beans with 3 med cukes would have been too heavy on the beans). I also omitted the olives and added 3 plum tomatoes instead as well as 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese for a little extra flavor. My DH said he could eat it every day!

This was an excellent salad. I had an orange sweet pepper that needed to be used, so I added that and it gave it such nice color. I didn't have parsley, so I mihced cilantro and it really lifted the flavor. I'll certainly make this again. Thanks Lori!

This was a nice summer salad that was a nice change from lettuce salad. I couldn't convince my dd that she liked garbanzo beans but I liked it all the same. Thanks!

This is a nice refreshing salad. It is sweet and it makes a good amount, not too much. It wasn't stunning but it is a nice accompaniment to a saltier meal. Thanks for posting.
