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!

Interesting but rather acidic. I was tempted to use my mother's trick of sprinkling brown sugar on the mint - it helps when chopping. I didn't have any cilantro handy so made mint the predominant flavor, with coriander (same plant but the seeds ground up, as an undertone. My husband, who isn't usually good at identifying flavors, commented on the undertone of coriander and said that he liked it. It is the kind of salad that you could vary many ways. I served this with some slices of cold roast chicken breast that I had made two days before _ roasted with garlic, thyme and lemon under the skin. They combined well.

Very good. It reminds me of salsa and the pepper and cilantro really gives this depth. The mint was overpowered by the cilantro; I might skip that next time. Overall would recommend this!

Great recipe....Used as a side with Guy's recipe for Chili Verde Pork. We put the Verde Pork over Green Chile Rice and it was to die for. Thanks for the great recipe!

The first time we made this is was good and everyone was quite surprised at its wonderful blend of flavors! On the second go round we subsituted the red onion with a shallot and added 1 teaspoon of tequllia and a pinch of red pepper flakes and it was a knockout at our BBQ! Thanks Guy for a wonderful recipe!

My husband and I LOVE this recipe. It is so fresh and delicious. We don't like mint or tomatoes so those get left out. The first time I made this, I didn't have the lettuce and it doesn't get included in "our" recipe at all now. My only complaint about this salad is that it doesn't keep long in the fridge. I make it at least twice a month. Great party food, sidedish or midnight snack!

My husband made this dish...although we forgot to put the mint in. It was soooo good, and we are making it again during the holidays. I would recommend this recipe!
