  1. A very tasty salad that ccan be the basis for some interesting variations. I used chickpeas that I cooked myself, and I pulled them out of the crockpot and doused them with the dressing. I think I would add some chopped parsley or thyme, to punch up the flavor a bit. I did not use the cream cheese, it just did not sound appealing, but I might try some manchego or mozzarella. I also think that adding some fresh veggies would be a nice variation - fresh diced tomato or zucchini.
     
  2. I had some chhickpeas left from some hummus recipes I'd tried yesterday and decided to make this for lunch today. Scaled down to 2 servings. I left out the cream cheese, which I didn't miss at all as the chickpea mixture was really flavourful (I really don't think I'd have been able to dice it, though). Made 1 hard-boiled egg and sat down to enjoy a delicious, healthful lunch with a toasted, whole-wheat pita. Thanks.

I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
