Meatless Monday - Chickpea Love
By admin | May 12, 2008
We have enjoyed Meatless Monday so much that we actually eat veggie meals or snacks a few times a week. One of my current food obsessions is chickpeas. I love hummus and this chickpea salad. So today we had Chickpea Salad with tomatoes and cucumber along with couscous and green beans. The chickpea salad is super easy - Two cans of cooked chickpeas, one chopped cucumber, and 1 pint of grape tomatoes. Mix together with Italian dressing and top with some feta cheese - voila- yumminess!
I have a basic couscous recipe that you can mix anything into. I like it because it is lower sodium than the boxed mixes. Take 1 cup of dry couscous and prepare according to directions. While boiling water, add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. I mix golden raisins and green onion in and both my husband and I love it.
Happy Meatless Monday!
