I am very grateful for your channel. The dishes are excellent, you make the preparation so simple and I 100% love your humor and personality. You are appreciated!
I tried this salad last night and it was amazing. It has great flavours and is wholesome. I will add this recipe to my easy dinner recipes and not worry about what to cook for dinner. Thank you for sharing this recipe
Did you find the salad to be filling enough? I’m making it for my meal prep this week and wondered if I should pair it with anything, or is it filling all by itself
Fresh and scrumptious paired with Moussaka last weekend. It is my goal to make all of your recipes. I have eaten Organic for years trying Aip, Paleo, vegan ,macrobiotic, vegetarian. Honestly, this diet & lifestyle checks all the boxes for me & I am not missing anything. It is satisfying and joy filled for sure.
Thank you so much for this recipe! It turned out delicious, I only added some honey to the dressing and topped my serving off with some feta cheese. I love it!
Hello , I just found your channel. I am a retired Flight Attendant and LOVE! Med food… healthy and full of delicious flavors. So I will be here making your dishes for sure. I am thinking a little fresh poached salmon and boiled eggs on top of this bed will make this a wonderful meal… BTW! Beautiful kitchen…. Cheers!
i noticed you loved adding sumac on most of your meal prepping....and emulsion happens when you mix olive oil and mustard while whisking and i love this recipe coz its full of protein from chick peas and i love all peppers on anything especially the reds😋😋😋😋😋😋
First time here and a new sub! I've been creating dishes with Chick Peas and trying new spices and herbs. This looks so yummy! Can't wait to learn more recipes. ❤
I do! You can find The Mediterranean Dish cookbook in Barnes and Noble, Target and Walmart. You can also order online here: www.themediterraneandish.com/cookbooks/
This looks so good, and I love chickpeas. But, I can’t eat tomatoes. Any thoughts on what I can substitute? I have to be mindful of acidity, which does make it very difficult to use good flavors.
I'm not too good with lots of tomatoes, but definitely find baby plums are the best. For the same colour group I would use vacuum packed cooked beetroot. Or fresh cooked in Summer.
My family didn’t like Muhammara with pita. I had followed your recipe to make that but I liked it. Can you please suggest ways to elevate it? Perhaps pasta or for any other use? What can I use the muhammara in? Pasta and?

Perfect for a summer day or when you want a meal that’s quick, healthy, and packed with flavor!
I made a version that's even more simple: replace the sauce with store-bought dressing. Now it takes about 5 minutes to make. Ok, to be even more lazy, use store dry parsley
I ll skip the chickpeas don’t like them, otherwise it looks delishhh i ll throw in also some shallotson the vinagretteand extra clove garlic 😋 have you tried the roasted piquillo peppers in a jar?
This Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is ready in only 10-minutes and filled with plant-based protein! Who's making it?!
I need to buy the Aleppo pepper
Me!!❤❤❤
@@cristinafratilescu9614 The Aleppo pepper is delicious! I also recommend purchasing a 4-pack of her olive oils. We LOVE them!!
I made it….delicious and easy to do! Thank you!😊
Avocado seeds are great source of collagen.
Tomato seeds cause inflammation in the body.
“The humble chick pea”!! I love it! They are my favorite!
I’m planning to eat a salad for lunch and a soup for dinner for the next 30 days starting today! Let’s see how it goes! Wish me luck salad peeps!
No breakfast? I've been trying to skip breakfast lately because it's my favorite meal and I tend to overeat
Great idea. There are so many great healthy, lean recipes out there. Good luck!
Yumm. Im addicted to feta so I would add some
Not only are you a brilliant chef and teacher, you do impressions aswell. I love this channel.
The doggo likes bell pepper? So adorbs 😍
It's the BEST garbanzo salad I 've ever eat !!!!!!!! My husband love it too.

It was filling by itself. I didn’t add any side dish to it.
I will try this one !
About salads you can say good, bad or wow! This salad is WOW! And is gonna be on my table soon 🔜! Thank you 🙏
I love this kitchen and of course the salad looks delicious 🙂
My family loved it and we've made it 3x's this week already...can't get enough of it. You are Fantastic, Thx!!!
Looks delicious. When I make it I think I’ll mash the avocado and whisk it in the dressing and serve with some sliced black olives on the top. 😋
😅Looks amazingly yummy!! Can’t wait to make this!!!
I love chickpea salad

Thanks for sharing this😀 I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, this looks great 🥰
It's the 2 time when I just cooked this salad. I love it, I can't stop eat it. The best !!!!! Congratulations
Awesome! Good for anyone with inflammation in their body, especially the joints.
Tomatoes are actually not good for arthritis, leaky gut, etc.
Nightshade ie pepper and tomato are inflammatory
Great cook recipe for visit 🎉🎉🎉

Hi Joyce🌹🌹
How are you doing?
Impressive Deniro impersonation 😂 will make this over the weekend. Thank you!
Lol!! Thank you! Enjoy the salad!
Delicious!
I just happened to be scrolling and saw you. I will definitely make.😊
Looks delicious!
I passed on the dijon but I LOVE this salad. Prep, chill, eat, repeat!!!! Yum
I can't wait to make this along with the chicken salad! ❤ you! Do you have a cook book at any of the book stores?
I do! You can find The Mediterranean Dish cookbook in Barnes and Noble, Target and Walmart. You can also order online here: www.themediterraneandish.com/cookbooks/
Gorgeous!
I have salads like this for dinner every night but I add jarred artichoke halves and seeds and nuts.
Delicious 😋
Love the salad! I recommend slapping the avocado nut with your knife and twist. Then the avocado doesn't lose its shape!
Great Deniro impression .. 😊
Fantastic and funny too:) Thanks!
Yum 😋
The bits of pith you say throw away are actually good for you. I have EDS & need to eat it😂
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or Erectile Dysfunction? 😭
@@bellenesatan Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.........
Remember to take the bay leaf out after it’s cooked. Looks good ❤
youre right the parsley is iron rich veggie for one and frsh veggie is an antioxidant as well....
“And throw this away like your ex boyfriend.” Love her humor 😂 *subscribed*
I just ordered the spices.
Never heard of Aleppo pepper, need to see if available in Australia
This is my lunch for the next few days 😀
Did you pre dress it or dress as you went.
I dressed it all when I made it. I was worried it would go mushy but it held up well. I added in the avocado each day just before I ate it.
@@rachelm358 thanks
I buy frozen avocado chunks. They are always perfectly ripe, and it stays in the freezer until I need it.
Thanks for the inspiration. Here in the house we love to use kidney beans. Oslo, Norway
Merci
I love salads, but I am *so* picky on ingredients being super fresh. Do you have storage suggestions, or do you shop more frequently?
Could you add shell fish or another protein As well??
I have a question. Why is there vegetable oil in your Aleppo pepper spice you sell on your website? Thanks
This looks so good, and I love chickpeas. But, I can’t eat tomatoes. Any thoughts on what I can substitute? I have to be mindful of acidity, which does make it very difficult to use good flavors.
I'm not too good with lots of tomatoes, but definitely find baby plums are the best. For the same colour group I would use vacuum packed cooked beetroot. Or fresh cooked in Summer.
A tablespoon of balsamic or red wine vinegar really sets this off!!!
Slice the red onions as thin as you can and they are not strong, just flavorful!
My family didn’t like Muhammara with pita. I had followed your recipe to make that but I liked it. Can you please suggest ways to elevate it? Perhaps pasta or for any other use? What can I use the muhammara in? Pasta and?
Jummmmyyyy
Thanks, I'm making this today but I don't have mint so I'm trying cilantro instead.
❤
How many days will this salad keep
May I suggest another variation.... adding mango or apple slices or. Persimmon or grapes ?? Mahalo n aloha from Hawaii.

Do uou have a cook book
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What about adding cilantro instead of the parsley ?
This isn't Mexican salad 🥗 it's Mediterranean Salad 🥗 people 😅
Things to make with leftover Muhammara ??
Chickpeas are best when the skins are peeled off. It makes dishes visually more appealing as well to not see those skins floating around.
I don't care for Chickpeas (unless they are in hummus :) Can I substitute white beans?
Yes any kind of bean (try Mung beans for example) or even Green lentils/Puy Lentils. Very yummy
This is similar to one I make with quinoa and preserved artichokes instead of chick peas.
I don’t consume black pepper nor any hot spicy peppers. No red pepper flakes. I only consume sweet bell peppers or roasted peppers. All multi colors.
WHATS A GOOD BEAN TO SUBSITUTE THE CHICKPEA.
Why does the video include a green bell pepper but not in the recipe?
I ll skip the chickpeas don’t like them, otherwise it looks delishhh i ll throw in also some shallotson the vinagretteand extra clove garlic 😋 have you tried the roasted piquillo peppers in a jar?
I am pre-diabetic I can’t eat the first cream.
That definitely needs some feta....
I grow avocados here but I don’t like avocados o my my hubby and my sister eats it
For meal preparation, can you have it dressed or you dress before you packed if that makes sense.
Am I the only one who doesn't like chickpeas?
Maybe 1 of 2
"Im sorry for your ex boyfriend because we get to throw him away so many times"
🤣
My body doesn’t like nightshades .
missed the feta imho
"Like your ex boyfriend" lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everything was good except the parsley. I’ve discovered my taste buds aren’t fond of its flavor.
Yo to call it a Robert dentro not! how dare you
