A good for you but delicious salad… Chickpeas!

The wholesome nourishment in a typical serving of chickpeas:

1/4 cup = 182 calories and only 3 grams of fat.  Carbohydrates 30 grams and protein 10 grams.

I added tuna and tiny shrimp

but you can certainly leave those out or, if you want more protein but don’t like the idea of fish, add cooked chicken (chopped).

UPDATE:  I had to remove the recipe. Apparently the folks who gave me the recipe didn’t want it posted on individual blog sites.  Strange marketing concept, don’t you think?  Oh well..tie your own noose.

BUT…there are plenty of GREAT recipes for Chickpea Salad with Lemon Dressing out there so…

Here you go:

Chickpea Salad with Parsley Lemon and Sundried Tomatoes

Lemon & Thyme Chickpea Salad

Lemon Chickpea Salad

The Barefoot Contessa’s Recipe: Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad

All of the above look delicious!

Anyway … I did have some fun with the salad I made…so continuing on…

Get ready…here’s an action shot
