My favorite way of eating chickpeas is by cooking them in oil with rosemary and garlic.

As the days are getting wormer i propose this fresh tasty Tuscan salad which is very easy to prepare and does not require cooking.

Ingredients

A small can chickpeas beans about 8 oz, 1 tablespoon chopped onion,  1 minced clove garlic, 1 small chopped  tomato, chopped, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt and pepper.

 

Recipe

The secret for a good taste is to wash the chickpeas beans with cold water. This way they will loose the horrible can taste.

Mix all the ingredients together and if possible make it stay for two hours.

With a drop of traditional balsamic vinegar you will give a final touch of class.
