    Chickpea Salad

    I cooked up a batch of dry chickpeas last week again to make some more roasted chickpeas for our camping trip. I had a few cups left over so I decided to make up another salad with some other fresh ingredients that I had in the refrigerator and pantry.

    It’s fun, and actually easy, to use simple ingredients to create something so incredibly flavorful and a little unexpected. My husband was in shock how great this Chickpea Corn Salad turned out.

    I love cilantro. I love feta. I love roasted pecans. Mixed with the chickpeas, corn and a little cucumber for more crunch and wow….so fabulous !   Now I have something amazing to eat for lunch this week 🙂

    I have  a little tip for roasting pecans quick. I put them on a paper towel and microwave them for 1 minute. Then toss them and microwave for another minute. Then let them cool before chopping them.  They turn out so yummy.

    2 cups drained and rinsed canned chickpeas or cooked dried chickpeas
