Chickpeas with Cilantro-Lime Dressing

In case you think that only Alexandra's children will enjoy this, I , too, have served this to children of all ages, and my granddaughters request this for their summer birthdays! It is so bright and fresh in flavor and color, both light and satisfying. It's a wonderful salad to have on hand when you're grilling steak but have some vegetarians who would appreciate something more than lettuce. In fact, a light leafy salad is a fine accompaniment to the chickpeas (as are mint julips if you want to go all green.) Another staple from Alexandra! Also, Shiloh Farms brand dried organic garbanzo beans are lovely if you can find them.

That dressing is delicious.I like tomatoes and cucumber so added that.Love dressings with cilantro.

Excellent! I love chickpeas but have tried some salad recipes and most were so bland and unappetizing; I thought I would try this one and I really love it!! I actually had what remained for breakfast today - that speaks volumes. I bought canned beans but next time I will do the dried ones and that will elevate this recipe even more. Thanks for super-easy and healthy little salad..

Yup. This is delicious. I really love it as a salad “topping” with dressing already included. Lettuce, tomato, whatever you want, and then this on top. YUM

If the local weather service sent recipes along with heat advisory warnings ( which would be an excellent idea!) this recipe and the one for cauliflower couscous salad would be among those featured. A lot of result for very little effort, most of which involved setting up and cleaning the food processor. I used canned beans and only roughly chopped the onion before letting the food processor do the rest.

Super délicieux !!! Merciiiiii

Tasted great and my picky vegetarian teenager told me I should make it again (high praise!). I added a little jalapeno and a dollop of greek yogurt to the dressing. We had it on rice bowls with cucumber salad, avocado slices, and blistered shishito peppers.

The lime cilantro dressing is delicious and the aroma will have you salivating. I cooked the chickpeas from dried and doing this, if you can remember to soak them the night before, creates chickpeas with a different texture and they seem plumper than canned. I was attracted to this recipe because I have an abundance of cilantro/coriander in my garden and this recipe has made the most of them. I’m serving this dish with warmed pitta bread

This was so yummy! Decided to add chopped cabbage to the beans. Also added kalamata olives and some feta. A perfect meatless meal!

Very good flavor! Love the dressing. Next time I will add less sugar. I used 2 1/2tsp but next time I think I’ll try 1 1/2tsp of sugar.

My whole family loved these. Delicious! The dressing is fantastic and I don’t even like cilantro! Thanks for a great recipe 

excellent flavor!

Very refreshing salad on a hot muggy day,  I added jalapeño carrots for heat and crunch and served with bacon. Avocado. And tomato sandwich on sourdough bread,  loved it!

Just made this and it turned out unbelievably good!! I’ve watched Alexandra make this so much on Instagram and I finally found some raw chickpeas and had to try! It’s better than I hoped!! 😍😍😍

I made this today and it was AMAZING!!!! Absolutely wonderful! My whole family enjoyed every bite.

I doubled the dressing recipe, and used three cans of chickpeas. This was totally delish! Served it with grilled chicken and some rice-a-roni. Very satisfying meal. Definitely perfect for summer!
