Chickpea and Roasted Red Pepper Salad

July 26, 2012

The chickpea is pretty fantastic, cheap, easy to incorporate into salads and just so darn good. Yet another chickpea salad (I think there is at least 7 in the recipe archives) and this one is inspired by Herbivoracious. I know I have mentioned this cookbook 8 million times but it is so darn good!

 

This is a quick and easy meatless dinner. Great for a party or on hot days when you just don’t want to cook.

Okay, I may need to break down and buy this book. Every recipe I’ve seen you and others talk about look great!

If you want to borrow mine to at least page through to make sure you would find enough things I am happy to bring it over. But I really do recommend it!
