Sometimes you’re just too busy to use a complicated recipe while fixing dinner. That’s when you can take items laying around and throw together something unique. I took this recipe of mine for chick pea salad and omitted some things while adding others without taking the time to precisely follow the directions.
I threw the contents of a can of chick peas into a large bowl and then added some onion bell pepper and tomato pieces that had been left over from other meals. I threw in some cilantro from yet another former recipe I had tried. I did use the amounts of lemon juice and olive oil the recipe called for. Then I added several dashes of cayenne pepper and a small dash of garlic powder and put the bowl in the fridge.
Cooking on the fly can be fun!
