Perfect summer salad. I made this using dried chickpeas that I soaked overnight then boiled in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes instead of canned. It had a tex-mex taste to it, perhaps the cumin and parsley gave it that twang. :-) I tasted it immediately after mixing all the ingredients and then let it sit in the fridge for an hour before serving. It is definitely much more flavourful after melding. Its flavour is not overbearing in any way. I served this with a light quiche type savoury pie and it was a perfect compliment. I will serve it on a bed of spinach leaves the next time! Thank you Manella for sharing. Read More

I love this fresh and satisfying salad and have had it as a side salad and as as a main dish for lunch (keeps well for at least 2 days)! Simple, inexpensive, quick to put together and it uses ingredients that I always have on hand. The cumin gives it a nice Moroccan twist and because I love cumin, I did add an extra half teaspoon and I might try a pinch of cinnamon next time. I also used green onion instead of the white and will try it with a red onion next time. This one is a keeper! Read More

This is a lovely chickpea carrot salad. Having a daughter who loves chickpeas I have made many different salads with them. What makes this salad extra special for us is the addition of fresh parsley to the delicious dressing. I added extra cumin and red onion for personal preference. This salad is a great example of simple ingredients coming together for a healthy and tasty dish. Manella thank you for sharing... Read More

I didn't want to shred the carrots, so I just cut my sweet petits crosswise. Was great. Read More

Really yummy with the cumin and chick peas. I added a little shredded pear for sweetness (raisins in regular food are an abomination) and a little mustard to the dressing. Fresh and easy (with use of shredder setting on cuisinart). Read More

Really good! I had a similar salad in an ethnic restaurant and have been looking for a good version of the recipe. I didn't have parsley so used cilantro and it was great with the cumin. Definitely will make again. It makes a good lunch, so will probably make it a lot! Read More
