This past weekend I went grocery shopping and decided to stray from my "comfort" veggies and pick up new items. One of the items was chick peas. Chick peas can be a nice addition to White Bean Chili or other stews. However, I did not have much experience with more unique recipes. I stumbled upon a recipe for White Bean and Chick Pea Salad. It sounded fresh and lovely with a hint of mint. Due to my lack of ingredients, I modified based on what I had in my fridge and pantry. This salad was a delightful, simple lunch today and a snack tonight. I even have enough for a small snack for tomorrow.
