Let's Dish
I'm always on the look-out for healthy, protein packed lunches, and this chickpea salad fits the bill. It's also great as a pita filling, or even between some slices of whole grain toast (you may want to mash it up a bit first).  If you don't care for curry, you can leave that out, and dill is great in place of the clilantro.

  1. I love this! I've been on the look out for some different lunches that don't include dairy or peanut butter for me and my kids. I think this would be great with some pita chips.

  2. This looks so yummy and fresh! I love chickpeas and curry so this is on my list to make. Being a vegetarian who doesn't care for eggs, this would be great for those times when tuna/egg salad is on the mind. All your photos are beautiful and I love your "Let's dish" part of each recipe. It's great to read your thoughts on a recipe before I try it. Thanks!
