It's obvious by now I am on a salad kick and am always on the look out for a different salad recipe. Especially ones that do not include pasta. Veggies, Legumes, greens and quinoa are what I look for in a recipe. So I was quite pleased to find one with my favorite "bean" the chickpea or also known as Garbanzo. It is such a versatile little thing. The salad was very flavorful and I would make it over and over. Would go great with a fish or seafood.
