Mediterranean Roasted Chickpea Salad

Written by Published on Updated on October 10, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hey foodie friends, 

Chickpeas, Lentil, Beans all make delicious recipes.  It seriously does not get any simpler than this Mediterranean Roasted Chickpea Salad recipe.  A few ingredients and you have a healthy meal that can be eaten hot or cold.  I waited until it cooled off and then ate the wholeee bowl!! 🙂  I think most enjoy eating chickpeas rather than beans, not sure why that is.   But if you know let me know why people prefer eating one more than the other.   I have no special plans for the weekend except for maybe doing a lot of cooking.  Lookout Kitchen here I comeeeee!!   Would love to hear your feedback if you try out this unique  Mediterranean Roasted Chickpea Salad.  Great side dish for any dinner table. 🙂

We finally had some beautiful summer breeze come our way these past two days.  We are past mid-August and heading towards the end and I haven’t a clue where Summer went.  So, far 2020 has been one strange year!!  

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Yummy! I love chickpeas! My sister and I normally make chickpea salad and add boiled eggs to it. I’ll have to try it this way.

      Hi Joe, Morocco they have a fabulous cuisine. I have a very good friend from Morocco and I know their cuisine very well. In regards to the recipe this varies others like more olive oil and others don’t so I tend to leave that to everyone preference. I usually add about a 4 or 5 tablespoons. If you need any help let me know and Thank you so much for you kind comment. Sophie 🙂
