Chickapeas + Tommytoes

This is what I had for lunch today.

It's extra high on the yum scale.




I kind of just threw together what we had lying around. We're headed out of town again so it was a last ditch effort to clear out the refrigerator. It was either this or the six pack of Guinness and a triple stacked baloney sandwich.

And the fetus only drinks heavily on the weekends. So.

Anyway, we're off.

Be nice to the pregnant woman in the airport this weekend.


Chickpea + Tomato Salad

1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 diced tomato
2 hardboiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup of celery
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
black pepper to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste


Combine the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, eggs, and celery in a large bowl.

Separately mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pour over salad ingredients. Serve immediately.

(You might recognize it from here, except that I changed an ingredient or two or three and played around with the measurements.)

Yum. I'd eat that and WOULD make it except my husband thinks chickpeas are the devil's spawn. He's dumb. Happy travels.
