  My husband loved this salad. I prefered it without the dressing. The second time I made it I left out the chick peas and added chopped red pepper. It was good for a packed lunch with wholemeal pitta bread.

  Made this for my lunch today and was very tasty, loved the sweetness of the cranberries, although rather garlicky. I used mixed beans rather than just chickpeas, might add olives next time as well.

  I made this as a salad to accompany a barbecue. It was fantastic! I would definitely make this again.

  Loved this. Kept for lunch for a couple of days. To be honest, I think I preferred it without the feta cheese, of which I am normally a huge fan. Awesome recipe! It looks very pretty too; great colours from the cranberrys, red onions, and fresh parsley.

  I added some peas and sunflower seeds, doubled the recipe which served about 10 people with some baked chicken. It was easy to make and everyone asked for the recipe!

  I made this to accompany a salad with savoury chicken drumsticks for friends I had round. very colourful & the cranberries went well together with the other ingredients. All enjoyed it.

  I used finely chopped tomatoes instead of the chick peas. It was great with the Indian Spiced Barbequed Lamb recipe also from this website. Quick and easy whilst the football was on. All enjoyed and wanted more.

  Just tried this salad for a family party - doubled the amounts and added the onion while the rice was still warm which helped avoid onion breath... It was completely delicious and even the kids ate it! Shock! Will definitely add it to my repetoire.
