summer chickpea salad

Chickpeas are brilliant - so buttery, nutty and filling - and they take on other flavors so well which is why this recipe is delish! I completely agree that they are under-used - in Australia too - although this is changing. Even if you don't have all the ingredients, chickpeas with parsely, some salt and simple dressing is pretty addicitive eating. But of course, with the extra yummy things added here it is not only a taste sensation but a veritable meal! Thank you for sharing Mr Oliver.<br /> <br /> http://www.healthyfoodblog.com.au/

One of the best summer salads I've seen and tasted. Tried it on my blog: iwilllearntocookiwilllearntocookiwilllearnto.wordpress.com/ And a girlfriend thought cucumber, black beans and grilled chicken would be great additions! Yum. Thanks for sharing online! So easy to bring my iPhone into the grocery shop instead of my cookbook and collect the ingredients. Thanks.

Delicious! :)

Thankyou Jamie this receipt if gr8 - iv put some shredded crabsticks on top and its delicous!

Love chickpea salad, I do mine a bit differently, without heating.<br /> I just chop tomatoes, add the chick peas, a good amount of parsley and some chopped mint leaves. For the dressing I use lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, mix it with the salad and then crumble some feta cheese over it. Perfect for summer! Think I'm gonna make this today!! :D

I like the recipe. Was wondering though, living in Australia as I do and not feeling inclined toward salad at this time of year, could you tag your recipes with the season? That way when people who are from the Southern Hemisphere could click on winter and get some yummy recipe ideas and vice versa?<br /> <br /> Thanks for your great work:)<br />

I like the recipe but I LOVE Jamie !

I love this salad. And it's goes great with some spicy lamb meatballs. Made it the other day with parsley instead of mint, and it worked fine. I even took a photo: http://coookin.com/dishes/summer-chickpea-salad

I have to try this great salad...Looks AWESOME!!!! Thanks Jamie....big HI from Colombia...

This is one of the most flavoursim and good looking salads I have had in while! Cheers Jamie

Chickpea dip is a must try it define!!!!!!

Susie, skip feta, olive oil and everything else that modern diets call for and you too will live less.
Greeks and especially Cretans live the most out of all of Europe and possibly the whole world.

Follow the Mediterranean diet and live longer.

Fantastic, nothing less :)

dear jamie,we make the same thing in our country I'm from Bangladesh.But just add boiled eggs then chopped,tamarine water ,more green chili chopped,mix with cumin powder and that is called "Chotpoti".I find it in India as well.I 'll try it with cheese in this beautiful british summer..Cheers mate.-Nahrin
