In reply to Raquel Kelsey. Hi Raquel, this should be good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

How long can this salad be stored for, refrigerated.
Thanks

In reply to Jj. Hi JJ, because I'm not often cooking at scale, I don't buy pre-made dressing. I do think a simple Italian or Greek vinegar based dressing would be best (or at least most true to my version here).

I want to make this for a large crowd (~80 people). I’m too nervous to make the dressing myself for that quantity (seasonings!); is there a ready-made salad dressing I could buy that would go well with the salad? Italian? Greek? Lemon-garlic? Caesar? Any particular brands appreciated!

This is delicious! I followed the instructions exactly and it was a big hit. In fact, we loved it so much that I made it a second time as soon as we finished the first round! The Italian parsley is essential and it is definitely not too much! All of the flavors combine to make a wonderful, healthy dish.

This is really delicious. I was looking for a recipe that didn’t have tomato or cucumber since those tend to make for a soggy leftover. I was a little skeptical about this one due to the minimal ingredients but it turned out to be my favorite!

Very good salad, especially with feta cheese. Next time I think I’ll add some tomatoes and olives for texture and flavor.

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda, yes you can use chives or green onions, or try to get locally sourced herbs from the farmer's market. Here's hoping the parasite issue is resolved soon.

Kate, I love your chickpea salad that’s in your cookbook. I want to avoid the parasite currently in the news. Can I use chives, or the green part green onions, which are easier to clean, easier to rid of the parasite, instead of cilantro or parsley? This is for a dinner party in a few days.

This salad is SOOO yummy! And fresh!
Enthusiastic “Yums” from Fourth of July guests. And I left my Cookies and Kate Love Real Food cookbook open to this page for inspiration and joy! For a recent shower made the Favorite Quinoa Salad—another win! ( Just wish I could figure out how to use my food processor when making a double recipe! )
