    This recipe has great flavors, however, it was far too salty..
    Almost inedible.. Reduced the salt to taste second time
    and loved it!

    I made it tonight for dinner and my husband and I loved it!. I'm making again tomorrow : I had to make a few substitutions because i did not have saffron or tahini or sherry vinegar. Some hummus, white wine vinegars worked just fine. We give it 2 thumbs up

    Loved the chickpea salad and Red pepper Vinaigrette, but agree much to salt with the Scallops, next time I think we would use no salt and just the cumin and pepper

    Made this for my wife today and it was really good and easy to make. I followed others sugestion and cut back on the salt, and could cut a little of the cumin on the scallops as well. Served it on a bed of baby lettuce for a fresh, crisp crunch and paired with a New Zeland Sauvignon Blanc. We'll do it again!

    I couldn't find a good price with scallops so I used salmon. It was perfect. I will make this again with salmon. I had to remember to cook the salmon a little longer than if using scallops.

    The Red Pepper Vinaigrette was a little too spicy but if I reduce the cayenne pepper it will taste the same.

    The next day's leftovers tasted even better because the chickpea salad's flavors had more time to mix. For a quick snack, just make the salad, no cooking required.

    The level of difficulty seemed to be set too high.

    I followed this recipe to the tee and it was so salty that I had to throw most of it away. What a waste! I wouldn't put any salt in the seasoning for the scallops. The chickpeas had good flavor but they too were on the salty side.

    At 1.5 tblsp salt, there is a lot of salt in this recipe. Question for Bobby: Is Kosher salt not as salty as table salt?

    I don't think the chickpea dressing and scallop vinaigrette tastes blend as well as I would expect from Bobby, but it was good. I saw Bobby do this on his show using a great looking Webber charcoal kettle grill. I did mine on a gas grill because we're in the middle of Tropical Storm Fay, but it turned out well.

    Keep on grillin' and chillin' Bobby!
