Loaded Chickpea Salad Recipe | The Mediterranean Dish 

I love this lady! She's so happy and bright, how refreshing! All of her recipes are great and I think she does a wonderful job in her videos explaining the details. God bless this woman.

I made it today with grilled chicken tenders and a side of hummus, dukkah, and grill-toasted flatbread. It was absolutely delish! Wife and kids literally vacuumed the plates. Thanks for the inspiration!

I am thankful for you and the recipes. I want to change to a mediterranean diet and this will be helpful.

you have totally made me fall in love with Mediterranean food. I pretty much make one of your recipes every weekend. Thank you so much for these!! :D

My doctor had me to switch to the Mediterranean diet because of an autoimmune condition called Sjorgen syndrome. It said it will help to reduce inflammation. So in my research I can across your channel. I will add this to my menu. It looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Susie, a great set of knives is a must for someone who enjoys cooking like you do. I have a set from the company Cutco. They are very expensive, but so very good. It makes food prep a piece of cake. I no longer buy precut vegetables since I bought these knives.

Just stumbled my way on to your youtube page and wow the content is amazing and I love how quick the recipes are . I just did a diet DNA test and it said to follow the Mediterranean diet.. im so happy to have found your videos..

Your salad is actually complete meal.

I second the Wusthof knives - I received the Classic Chef knife and paring knife as a recent gift - love the weighted feel. Glad I found your website as I am moving our household to more Mediterranean style foods.

If you need to sharp your knife use the bottom or a plate or mug and use the edge. That way I sharp my knives. They are from ikea but they really work

I use GLOBAL knives..love them ...made from one piece of carbon steel. Sharp..comfortable..easy to use and well balanced

Henckels knives. They are awesome. Stay sharp for a long time and re-sharpen nicely.

I highly recommend Zwilling 7” Rocking Santoku knife.. great quality and very very sharp!

I really like Kuma knives! I used their chef knife for a year and it remained sharp! Thanks for the recipe

RE: Knives Regardless of the brand, if used regularly, all knives need to be sharpened about every six months. A new knife is also going to feel awkward in your hands. A few suggestions: 1) Get a 1,000/6,000 combined sharpening stone and watch RU-vids on how to sharpen knives from Burrfection. You CAN bring that old, cheap knife back to life and you won’t be intimidated by having to learn how to sharpen a new, more expensive set. Spend time on the 6,000 grit side of the stone to get it razor sharp! Stropping helps too, but isn’t necessary. 2) Regardless how slight, using a knife blade as a scraper ( 2:38 ) will dull the knife. Admittedly, I’m sometimes guilty of this, but I try to flip the knife over and use the spine to scrape food into a bowl whenever I can. 3) Honing the knife with a steel before every use will help MAINTAIN THE EDGE. Using a steel WILL NOT keep a knife sharp. 4) Keep knives sheathed or in a block to keep the edge from getting dinged. Many just let their knives float in a drawer without protection 😖. “May the odds be ever in your favor”

Tried this! (I’ve really been haunting this channel lately, trying out different recipes...) Loooved it! Super delicious! I’m really a passionate salad lady through and through and it hit the spot just right for me. Thank you!

Yum looks delicious i am making this soon i never had salads before drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya

Thank you dear From Singapore 🇸🇬

Glad I found your channel Suzy! Love your style and recipes!

Great video you're doing on the Mediterranean chickpea salad since I have cans of chickpeas laying in my home. I would add feta since I'm Greek Goes great with this salad. TY for all you do! I recommend Wüsthof knives because I have them & they're German steel made in Germany. I bought my Wüsthof that came iwth the chef knife & paring knife from a store in NYC that left a few years ago for a great price

Your salad is beautiful..makes me so hungry.

Love all your recipes. Sometimes I grate my garlic when I’m too lazy to chop.

Just discovered your channel. I have to go on a plant based diet, Drs orders. I made your recipe and it was fantastic. Thank you.

It is a colorful and very delicious meal! Appetite comes out! I want to eat it!

Happy to find this channel

I’ve been making this on my new eating plan. I add quinoa or seven grains or lentils or barley. I change it up because I’m making it every week. Thumbs up

Global Knives.... I’ve had mine for years and Williams Sonoma will sharpen them for free.

This looks so yummy! How long would this stay good in the fridge for?

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This loaded salad is my new favorite side dish for any type of grilled meat. I subscribed to this channel before the recipe was finished.

That looks so delicious I’m going to try to make this thank you for sharing beautiful lady

Calphalon knife sets with sharpening blocks are great.

Trying this one out today! Made your money bean salad recipe to go with dinner last night and WOW it was sooooooooo delicious!!!!! I am wondering if I can use rosemary in a fresh salad or if that’d be too overwhelming. I do love using it for baked meats but wasn’t sure about fresh salads. What do you think?

Suzy this looks yum!!I love this salad Bella!!👍🤩

You asked for knife recommendations. I have three. You must try a knife yourself, its a very personal choice. Kitchen Aid has a very good line, holds an edge well. Wolfgang Puck has excellent knives. Elegant steak knives. Weighty, good feel. My all time favorite though is from a company called Chicago Cutlery. Sharp sharp sharp. All worth a try.

A perfect work lunch idea

Rada is a good brand. They also sell a sharpener

About your knife…. I sharpen my inexpensive knives each time I use them , before and after using them, so they stay sharp. One thing that dulls a knife is using it to scoop up the chopped bits by dragging the sharpened edge across the cutting board. If you want to use it to scoop the bits, turn the knife over so the unsharpened edge scrapes on the board. Give it a try😉

Just a note about the olive oil: try Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I find it cheaper and as good if not better than greek. Said this I just suscribed to your channel. Fantastic recipes!! Thanks so much.

Very useful, love it ,thank you

Looks delicious! Thank you.

Zwilling Henckels Proffessional knife, expensive but great quality.

Excellent recipe! Love it

"We have chickpeas which are full of lots of good stuff lke fiber and stuff ", I'm in.

I ❤️ Suzy and the Mediterranean Dish one question: Za'tar ❤ ( which spice is called "top of the house" ( in Arabic - I am thinking Moroccan origins).

My mouth was watering! Lol 😆 I’m making this for lent :)

Doctor told me to go on a mediterranean diet so I guess this is a good start

Lovely recipe and presentation 👌

Shun knives. Standard chef and pairing knife is all you need and not too expensive. Thanks for the recipes!

wusthof or global. nice and sharp

That looks amazing!!!! I want to make that!!

Looks amazing, how long can you store the salad in the fridge for, in case of left overs ?

Great idea for a t shirt. “Be one with the garlic”. Love it

Where shoud I look for eggplant recipe.Like to see how you fry it.

Made this today 5/20/21......it is AMAZING😋 thank you💞

Tried this salad but eliminated garlic because it is revolting and disgusting. The results were delicious!! Thanks for a great recipe!

Lovely recepi

I love my Ikea knives

Wusthof is a Chef quality knife, they're awesome. I'm at one with garlic!!

Victorinox chef knife. Sharp, cheap, silicone handle, nice gripe easy to wash. Low maintenance. $40

Do you use the stems of parsley all the way please let me know

Her sense of humor is so bad, it’s good 😂

On the printed recipe it says lime for the dressing, however the video says lemon. I made it with lime but in my head thought lemon would go better possibly??? Which was correct? Also love the website, so many great delicious recipes, thank you!!!

For medical suggestion I need to be on the Mediterranean diet. Thank you…new subscriber here!👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️😭😭😘

Try the cooking guild for a new knife!

You are what Hilaria Baldwin sees when she looks in the mirror. 😂

Wow, this was SO good! I wasn't able to make it until now because my two local grocery stores, Stater Brothers and Vons don't carry Za'atar. I finally found it at Trader Joe's. Another winner in the rotation! Thank you, Suzy!

Global Knives!!!! That knife so blunt sweetie, that’s dangerous!

Would love to know how you eat this with the pita and the eggplant. Just each thing individually? Or do you put them together?

Do you have any advice to make chickpeas softer? I made a chickpea salad recently and couldn’t deal with the toughness and texture of the peas.

Where can I find the recipe to make the gorgeous eggplant accompaniment?😁

Really wonderful chef’s knives are made by Chicago Cutlery. All their knives are great. They are perfectly balanced, and very comfortable to the hand. It’s my absolute go to knife for everything. Mine is a six inch, wooden handle. (And I put it in the dishwasher😱). It’s thin enough for tomatoes, and will cut London broil into nice thin even slices too. They hold an edge for a looonnngggg time. They are also reasonably priced. I also highly recommend German made knives. Forget the Japanese knives hype, I’ve never seen one that can hold a candle to Chicago or Henkles. Thank you for yet another yummy recipe!

Do you soak the chickpeas in water or just rinse?

You are a sistah! A straight homegirl! I mean that in a good way. 👍🏾🖤🤎❤️

Can the salad be made ahead of time and flavors marry in the refrigerator?

Chickpeas Tomatoes 🍅 English Cucumbers Shallots or Red Onions Garlic Lemon 🍋 cup of Parsley 1 cup of Dill Seasoning 3 tablespoons of Za'atar Dressing Lemon juice Greek Early Harvest Olive Oil Two Garlic cloves minced Kosher Salt Pepper Optional Roasted Eggplant 🍆 on the side Pita Bread

Can you tell me where to get good quality pita bread? Hard to find locally for me

Cutco brand knives

You have to try a ceramic knife

Make um Ali

How do i cook the garbanzo beans from scratch?

Challutz = Shallots Urbz = Herbs

Do they ship to canada

You said lemon but it looks like lime to me.

Adopt me 😫

Kramer knives by Henckels - kramerknives.com/product-category/licensed-designs/meiji-collection/. Global/Shun, etc. are very good but not even close when compared to Kramer knives.

Japanese knives 🔪

Why do you call it eggplant lasagna? It’s eggplant parmigiana.

Wusthof knives

Kramer knife

Leave out the eggplant and it would be good

I'm not sure anyone knows how to make anything without oil.

You have bad cucumbers turn yellow

With all that hair into the dish when cooking?

U talk a lot omg....just tell it straight thats it
