Mediterranean cooking the Middle Eastern way!
Chick peas, or garbanzo beans, are a common and popular source of protein in Mediterranean cooking. This particular recipe hails from the Middle East and would be equally at home on the Syrian, Iraqi, Lebanese, or Israeli table. You’ll find that it is quite popular on your table too, as the salad goes together quickly, is a satisfying combination of tart, and sweet flavors while managing to be both creamy and crunchy at the same time. It’s the perfect way to kick off our Mediterranean Middle Eastern Week here at Hestia’s Kitchen!
