I'm one of those people who goes through food cravings and I'll eat the same thing for days or weeks in a row because I'm so obsessed with it. (Even things like salami or soup for breakfast. ) I've been making this chickpea salad lately and I love it so much I wanted to share. It's so easy.
Just mix these ingredients together:
- Canned chickpeas
-Diced tomatoes
-diced onions
-chopped fresh pasley
-olive oil
-lemon juice
-fresh garlic (if you know your family & friends love you know matter what)
-paprika
-salt & pepper & garlic salt to taste
-Finally , weird as it sounds, add capers & parmesan cheese. I swear it's good.
...It's so easy & even better if you can make it a few hours before you eat it so it has time to marinate. looove it on day 2. We've been having it with warm pitas & feta... mm mm goodness
ps- I promise I'll post pics of my laundry room as soon as I can get it clean enough to photograph!! (I found the fabric for the curtains at Lewis & Sharon)

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

This is so funny! I'm the exact same way with food; right now I'm obsessed with chicken tikka masala. I've had it probably seven times in the last five days!!
The recipe sounds great!!
This recipe sounds good! I will have to try it out this week!
Sounds great and I think I'll toss in some avocado too since I have several waiting to be used!
We make the same thing here but with black beans and diced red peppers! Yum!
Ohhh tasty!! Love the recommendation and I agree, things like that are always better the day after you make it.
I make a similar recipe, but have never tried the parmesan. Can't wait to try this version!
Ooooh wow that looks amazing!Delicious sounding enough to make me come out of blogosphere hiding and say hello :) Great new recipe to try for my 2011 "year of health"!

Looks delicious!
This looks and sounds so good! I like that there is no meat in it. I bet it would be tasty with a crunchy french bread too...kind of like a bruschetta :)
That sounds good. I make a salsa that is similar.
Sounds and looks delish! Always loving healthy options. Thanks for sharing.
Looks delicious...I am in Calif. and I just sent it to my daughter in NYC. We have a meyer lemon tree that is bearing fruit now, so I have the fresh lemon juice.

That sounds delish. I'm a big fan of chickpeas. We'll definitely try this!
I love chickpeas! Being a vegetarian, I eat them frequently. I also love capers so this is one dish I'm definitely going to try.

love chicpeas lately, we've been on such a kick. trader joes has a few pre-flavored ones that i like. but my fave are these salt and vinegar ones i make at home: http://semiweeklyeats.blogspot.com/2010/11/im-copycat.html
I do that too!! I totally went through a chick pea and white bean salad phase about 3 months ago. amazing

I am exactly the same way! At least I'm off my "all I eat is birthday cake ice cream" kick!!! Although actually I was slightly thinner than now and (according to my physical during the ice cream extravaganza) quite healthy all-around!!
i bought all the ingredients to try for dinner tomorrow night - can't wait, especially being a vegetarian, its hard to keep finding new delicious ways to eat protein . . .thank you!

What a simple and tasty looking salad. Love the idea of eating it in pita bread. Thanks for sharing this.
I hear that Sista'! I just had a small block of cheese for breakfast. I can't wait to try this; I'm always looking for delicious and healthy and you're a genius in the kitchen

Hahahah- That's so funny. I do the same thing. I'm just now coming off a serious Oreo binge and now I'm over them. Thank god. Thats not a good food to binge on ;) I mean it is! But REALLY isn't.

Hi Lauren! I was wondering if you could tell me where you found the round black wire lamp in your living room? I've been looking for a similar one, with no luck. Thanks!

YUM YUM YUM! That looks like a perfect make-ahead-and-take-to-work kind of lunch! Thanks for sharing!

I've been making the very same salad for years - I always get asked to bring it along especially to bbqs. The only difference is I also add 1/2 cup of currants - soak the currants in boling water for a few mins, drain allow to cool and add to salad....simply stunning!
Sounds like my kind of dish. I m going to try it this week.
Yummy! These are almost the same ingredients for my Orzo salad! (minus capers, parm cheese and paprika) Just add red wine vinegar, water, mint, honey and orzo. So good! I love chickpeas!
Looks and sounds GOOD. I'm trying that with pita and feta TOMORROW.
I've been enjoying your blog and was really pleased to see you in BHG - Congrats!
Just made this today for pool party and everyone loved it!
Thanks so much for posting it :) looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow :)
I know this is a little late, but just posted about your recipe today on our blog. thanks for the inspiration!
