     I used dried chickpeas to reduce the sodium and reduced fat feta cheese. Its very yummy, people in the lunch room were jealous cause I had such a healthy lunch. - 3/16/09

     So delish! I added garlic and basil instead of oregano. We've eaten it every day for a week! - 1/9/09

     Yum!!! But I'm not sure how you justify the description as high fiber (only 2 grams) and LOW FAT (18 grams of fat!!!!) - 12/29/08

     This is absolutely delicious! I love the chickpea/feta combination. I use half the olive oil and more lemon. Now I'm going to try it with white wine vinegar instead of lemon. I love the vinagrey taste! - 6/18/09

     delicious! i used President brand fat free feta which brings the fat content down to only 6gms. You can up the fiber content really easy as well by changing what veggies you use. I notice the nutrition info here uses yellow peppers/cucumbers/onions, try adding blanched beans or carrots. - 5/7/09

     great fast lunch i cut out salt and 1/2 oil - 4/2/09

     Delicious! I'd add fresh oregano whenever I find it in the grocery store - amazing taste! Goat cheese feta is also wonderful and lower in fat than cow's milk feta (and easier to digest for anyone who is lactose intolerant) - 1/14/09

     This was very yummy. I quadrupled this recipe. I cut the cheese in half and added the same measurement in chickpeas. I also added a 1/2 T of fresh garlic and I used fresh oregano. Yummy! I will make it again. It was super quick and easy. - 3/27/08
  • MISSDEBBIE60
     I enjoyed this sooo much. I used my left over asparagus,cucumber,tomatoe,onions, basil and black olives. I also made yogurt cheese and had that instead of feta. Thank you! - 3/23/08

     Delicious! - 4/7/09
  • TANDABAT
     Delicious! I keep forgetting to buy oregano though. I have to use thyme or other things, but still wonderful. Packs well for lunch. - 2/7/09
  • REBECCA3789
     Great salad. I used 1/2 the oil for lower calories - 2/4/09
  • SUSAN916
     I really wanted to love this recipe, but the lemon juice was just too strong for my taste. This did improve with having the salad in the fridge for several hours. I will make again and reduce the lemon juice. - 1/8/09
  • PURPLE_PHYS
     I ate this over lettuce with zucchini. It was very tasty! And with fat free feta, not quite as fatty! - 1/2/09
  • PENNYWEIGHT

  • DONNAKHA
     YUM! This recipe is really versatile in that you can add alternative crunchy veges-- just be sure to start with the basics listed in the recipe. I even tossed in a cup of leftover brown rice and it worked fine. - 2/25/08
  • SALASALABEY
     This was good; I added more veggies and a bit more lemon juice. I tried the suggestion of whole wheat pitas but they were really dry. not recipe's fault. Will make again! - 2/16/08

     Delicious! I loved it - I made it for a quick and tasty lunch at work with pita chips. I used carrots, broccoli, red and yellow pepper, and some cauliflower. I would definitely use more broccoli next time! - 1/5/08
  • REDGINGER
     Delicious! For veggies I used green beans, red pepper, celery, tomato, onion, and added a couple of pieces of sundried tomato. I also used low fat feta. It's really great, thanks for sharing the recipe! - 1/4/08
