This salad is a great way to use up leftover garbanzos.

I'm allergic to garbanzos, so I substituted chickpeas instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is way too expensive for what you get. I could make a better salad at home for half the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed this salad. The lemon-tahini dressing really brings out the flavor of the avocado.
