Tips & Variations

This is a great dish to accompany grilled meat, chicken or fish

on the BBQ.

I love it as a picnic dish with other salads and some

interesting breads to sop up the dressing. (Rosemary focaccia,

French Baguette, etc.).

To serve as a main dish for light supper or lunch, just spoon

the chick peas over endive leaves, baby mixed greens or baby

spinach.
