    I just made a really fantastic chickpea salad with drained, canned chickpeas, chopped walnuts, feta cheese, sliced green olives, red onion, chopped carrot and celery and red bell pepper, tons of fresh chopped parsely, lemon juice and a teensy bit of olive oil. It tasted good last night at dinner but much much better this morning, after marinating all night. It's a hearty bean salad with lots of healthy omega-3 fats.

    That sounds great! I also make a 3 bean salad using chickpeas, green beans and the yellow wax beans, add some low cal Italian dressing and chill it.

    This is my all-time FAVORITE for chickpeas:

    DEVILISH CHICK SPREAD

    3 cups chickpeas, cooked
    1 cup vegan mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon yellow mustard
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    Season Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

    Combine everything except chives in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse on and off until the mixture is nicely melded, but don’t puree—leave a little texture. Add the chives through the feed tube and pulse on and off a few times to whirl in.

    Moroccan Chicken!

    throw chicken thighs or quarters, baby carrots, raisins, onions, lemon slices (you throw these out when it's all cooked) and a can of chickpeas in a electric skillet or slow cooker. Add a little cinnamon, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic and a pinch of nutmeg and simmer until carrots are soft and chicken is cooked through. Eat as is, or serve over white or wild rice.

    It sounds a little weird, but try it! You'll thank me. And don't omit any of the ingredients, trust me! It is absolutely to DIE for, and so easy.

    Lots of recipes for savoury ideas (can't fault that - I love me a good chickpea salad etc), but I also LOVE using chickpeas in cookies. Check these out - chickpea peanut butter choc chip cookies:
