Today's recipe is a yummy cold salad featuring little hailey as a special helper. This recipe is quick, super easy and really nutritious. Chickpeas are really high in protein and fiber, and are great to use in a main dish or a side in a healthy diet. Our kids, like us, really, really love hummus.. and once I can remember to pick up some tahini, I will finally try my hand at making some. Until then, here is a cold salad to hold you over. :)
Cold Chickpea Salad
-4 cups of chickpeas, rinsed and soaked.
-1 Large carrot, peeled and grated.
-1 Large red onion, peeled and chopped.
-1 Clove of garlic, peeled and minced.
-1/2 Large red pepper, chopped. (Some roasted peppers would also be really, really good in here!!)
-1/2 Cup of balsamic vinagrette, or to taste.
Essentially, all the above ingredients get combined into a large bowl and mixed well, then refrigerated until it is well chilled. Easy Pea-sy. (har, har)
It's alot more fun when you have some little hands to help though. ^_^ Enjoy!
