    So easy to make and so delicious. I added some chopped tomato and sliced black olives for more color and flavor. Since I served this as a cold salad, I made a dressing of olive oil and lemon juice to mix in. I topped it with toasted pine nuts. A definite make-again recipe for a quick take-to-work lunch.

    I made this as a main dish because it is such an expensive side. Though a bit pricey, this recipe is absolutely delicious and I will make it again. The freshness of the herbs mixed with the earthiness of the chickpeas and vegetables...plus a tang of cheese...it is really good. You could add some shrimp or cooked chicken to make it into a meal but I made it as it is written and served it with crusty bread.

    Made this tonight and it was great! It looked and sounded good to me and it turned out better than I thought it would. I was skeptical of the mint so I only added a little bit. After tasting it, I added more. When we went back for seconds, I stirred in some leftover Creamy Corn, another RR recipe, which tasted even better. Super good recipe!!!
