I know I said I wouldn't blog every day about Healthier Tara = Good but I'm so blown away by the dinner I had tonight I must share. Check out what was on the menu for tonight -- a top sirloin steak, grilled peppers and zucchini and a mountain of amazing Moroccan Chickpea Salad! It was a ton of food! So much for going without! Seriously, the salad was so good I'm posting the recipe. This in the summer would be heaven on a plate.
Moroccan Chickpea Salad
1 15 oz can chickpeas
1 cucumber, diced
1 yellow or red bell pepper, diced
1 10 oz container cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 3/4 tsp cumin
Dressing
1/4 cup shallots, diced
1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Prepare salad and dressing in separate bowls, then pour over salad and pig out.

I am adding those ingredients to my shopping list so I can make that tomorrow. That sounds so good. And, that is not Healthy Weasel talking--that is the hungry weasel. Yummy!
It also said you could add 2 tbsp of capers which I hate so I left out. It was beyond delicious and completely worthy of your enviably warm climate!!
I am a huge fan of the humble caper berry. I will add it to your delicious salad.
I just made the salad. I am letting it marinate for dinner tonight. 1/4 cup of shallots seems like a lot. Is that right?
Will let you know how it goes. But, it looks very yummy!!
MMMMmmmmm. This looks SO good.
