Ok, so it was up against two potato salads and this dessert, and the dessert won the “winner” medal, even though the dessert wasn’t a “side dish”, which is what the medal was supposed to be for, but I’m not bitter at all, even though a dessert isn’t technically a side dish, I don’t think anyway… don’t you agree?
Seriously, the medal said “WINNER” on it.
Anyhow, here’s the chickpea salad recipe that I “borrowed” from somewhere and I can’t find the recipe again, but it’s always a hit. Even the 1,000,000 kids at the BBQ ate it, they about wiped out a big tupperware container of the stuff. (At least it seemed like 1,000,000 kids.)
| Ingredient | Action Required |
| 3 cans chickpeas | opened, rinsed |
| 1 English cucumber | diced to chickpea size |
| 1 Red pepper | diced to chickpea size |
| 1 med. red onion | finely diced |
| 1/2 bunch parsley | minced |
| 2 large lemons | juiced |
| 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil | add to taste |
| salt | add to taste |
| pepper | optional |
I think maybe the kids liked the colors.
