Рецепт Warm Chickpea Salad
I made this delicious Warm Chickpea Salad yesterday. For convenience, I used canned chickpeas for this recipe. It is a faster and cheaper alternative. However, if you are not into chickpeas, you can substitute it with other canned beans instead. Just make sure the beans are firm and not the mushy type.
