Mmm, just ate some! This recipe got me to start eating salad! So tasty! I absolutely love it!
Tip: Instead of mixing in the lettuce with the rest of the ingredients, just pour the dressing and other ingredients over the lettuce when you're ready to eat, that way you get the perfect amount of everything you want and the salad doesn't wilt! It really extends the life on the lettuce! So, usually I have two separate bowls for the lettuce and the ingredients you toss in.

Love this dish. I usually make it without the lettuce, so it becomes a chickpea and tomato salad primarily. I always bring to pot lucks and dinner parties and I always get hit up multiple times for the recipe.

I liked this recipe. I made it as a last minute side, in case my main dish flopped. I didn't have everything required: I didn't have lettuce, I had white wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, I had very little cilantro left, no serranos- only jalapenos. I decided to through this stuff together anyway. Added feta cheese last minute. I still liked it. My mate liked it. I don't know how to rate this recipe given I didn't follow the directions. I would like to assume that the original recipe probably makes more sense than mine, and thus I will give it a 4. I am loving my life a little more each day since I began eating chickpeas aside from hummus!
