fantastic ingredients, and i'm loving your simple but satisfying dressing! hello kitty! :)

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com 18/8/16 14:58

What a great idea for a salad! I think the crunchiness of the cucumbers would help my husband (with texture issues) not notice the texture of the chickpeas, and then he could just enjoy the flavors as much as I do.

[Reply]
Mindy 18/8/16 15:39

What a lovely salad, and so healthy. I love that you grow your cucumbers in a pot. I kill just about every plant I come near. I love the kitty also!

Great, fresh seasonal salad! Looks wonderful. Indians make a very similar salad with a bit of spice and it's wonderful too. I like having this for breakfast instead of sweet yoghurt.

Love everything about this salad, but what I love the most is that 1/2 cup of fresh mint! It's becoming one of my favorite ingredients.

Homegrown veggies are the best and your cucumber plant is such a success! That's really exciting! I've got baby poblano peppers growing for the first time and I can't wait to use them when they're ready. This salad looks really fresh and delicious, Angie! Yum :)

Ria Samuel 4/10/16 08:16

Feast to the eyes and tongues - especially when the cucumber is homegrown.
