I Google-d “chick pea salad” and found a great recipe over at Smitten Kitchen.  I had all of the ingredients in the house.  Unfortunately, for the second time in a row, the dog ate the whole grain farmers market bread, so I had to scrounge crusts from the store bought.

I served the chick pea salad on the toasted crusts and over fresh local lettuce, garnished with diced fresh, local bright red and yellow peppers and more black olives.  It was very tasty and DH was still hungry afterwards.  We finished up by eating local cranberry-walnut bread and some fresh, delicious summer peaches.
