Ways to Beat the Heat, #4 (Chickpea Salad)

Salads. Fresh mixed salad green from the farmer’s market, with carrots, scallion, red pepper and grapes, topped with a bit of Italian dressing. Also, chickpea salad on sourdough bread, bread also from the farmer’s market. In the chickpea salad are garlic scapes, also from… the farmer’s market. I think you see a pattern here.

I’m sure you know how to make chickpea salad, but in case you didn’t here goes this version:

Chickpea Salad

1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1 small onion, minced
1 garlic scape, sliced
2 Tbs Vegenaise
salt & pepper, to taste

Smash up the chickpeas, then mix everything together. That’s all!
