Chick pea goodness.

Do you like chick peas? If not, I am not sure that we can be friends.

I love me a good chick pea. I was so super bored with side salads with lunch and dinner, so I scrounged up whatever I thought would go well together and made a new side salad--a chick pea one :)

I really like sweet and spicy/salty/sour foods together, (just not sweet and sour chicken. Ewwness.) so this is so right up my alley. If you do too, make this:

1 can of chick peas

1/4 cup of canned corn

1/3 cup of chooped green bell pepper (red would be yummy in this too!)

1/4 of a small onion diced very very fine
1 stalk of celery, diced

8-10 jalapeno slices from a jar (Less or more depending on your liking for heat)

1/3 cup of Craisins

A loop or two around the bowl with Italian dressing (mayyybe two tablespoons. Not a lot at all)

A dash of pepper

If you are looking for a new, healthy side dish or snack...give this a try!

Have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend, folks!

Love,
