This looks FAABULOUS!
This certainly is quick and easy to make Giz, perfect for picnics too:D
...and right on time for the hot days ahead :) I actually keep dried beans/peas on hand, so I can give this a try very soon.
I love how you used the phrase "clean tasting." I can see that.
This is a total workday lunch for me. I love new ideas on that front!
I love anything with chickpeas!
That sounds very tasty & good for you
Maybe a silly question, but would you soak the chick peas if you used canned? Or just drain and rinse? (lisaann9(at)excite.com)
You're totally right, I do get sick of the same old salad. I've only had chickpeas maybe 20 times in my life though, so they still have a ways to go :)
Looking forward to your crumble dessert... and happy belated holidays to your family too :)
This is such a great beach meal too.
This chickpea salad looks terrific..very nice for a summer day!
oh, how i love chickpeas. what a great bean salad for those times when hummus just won't fill my chickpea needs. :)
I love garbanzos too. I make three bean salad often during the summer, but I like the idea of featuring just one bean at a time.
Reminds me of our traditional Portuguese cheek pea salad, we also have a similar one done with black eyed peas and I don't mean the band lol :) kisses thanks for sharing :) xx
I really like doing chickpea and/or bean salads like this!
