Drew Rating: 4/5
Sara Rating: 4/5 (5/5 as a side dish)

Modifications: Served as a main dish over a bed of lettuce

Notes: This was a very tasty salad and very easy to prepare. The fresh oregano was a nice touch and since I grow my own, I always have plenty at hand. Since I was making this as a main dish, I served it over a bed of lettuce but it would be fine on it's own as a side dish. It's a great summer recipe as everything is raw and you don't need to cook anything. A simple modification I might try in the future would be to use cucumbers instead of celery. I always seem to have more cucumbers than I know what to do with during the summer. This actually tasted better as leftovers since it allowed the chickpeas to marinate in the lemon juice, oil, and herbs. It makes plenty so you will enjoy it for a few days. Overall, a very nice salad that we will definitely be making again!

Sara’s Comments: I think this would shine with a simple piece of grilled fish or other light entrée. Great mix of textures and flavors. Not enough bulk for me for dinner though, and eating more just gets monotonous.
