Spiced melting feta and chickpea salad

This is another recipe I  saw on the good food website and had to try, with added spice of course. I served it with some lamb kebabs. I used mint sauce mixed with some lemon juice and a little sugar istead of the fresh mint. Also served it with a nice big dollop of tzatziki and a flatbread.

Serves 2 or 3
