I'm a big fan of chickpeas. I don't buy them in the can anymore because the texture of dried beans once they are soaked and cooked is so much better. Delightful salad!

The Guerilla Griller 22/2/11 17:28

What a great mixture - I can taste it while I read it. Weirdly, though, I originally misread it as CHICKEN with feta and sundried tomatoes, which I'm also going to try! Thanks for the inspiration, and a great food blog.

[Reply]
A Canadian Foodie 23/2/11 04:39

I think I said this to you about your brussel sprouts recipe - the last one. It sounded familiar, and this one does, too. It must be something very similar to another dish you have already made. I have a memory like an elephant, and if it sounds good, I remember. I made a similar one, and it is yummy.
