So this recipe I threw together when I checked out my kitchen and realized – yikes – nothing to make a side with. Shopping day is tomorrow and I wasn’t so in the mood to shlep to the grocery store in the pouring rain. What I did have was our tomatoes from the garden, a can of chickpeas, onions and feta cheese. Now I have to warn you, I didn’t pay attention to the amounts and eye-balled everything, but it’s a salad so no biggie. The result was delicious! I wouldn’t normally add chickpeas to this kind of salad, but it works!

Tomato-chickpea feta salad

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup chickpeas
One small onion, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup balsamic glaze (because, we’re lazy. But you can always reduce some balsamic yourself!)
Italian seasoning to taste
Dried Basil to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients together and serve. Easy Shmeasy and a nice change from the everyday.

Happy cooking!
