Hearts of Palm and Chickpea Salad
"This is a nice, simple salad that requires a minimum of effort and no actual cooking...always nice on hot summer days. As with most vegetable salads, amounts are approximate (I often trade the tomatoes for carrots or peas)."

Delicious!!!

Excellent salad! I added crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor and thinly sliced celery for extra crunch. -
Now I made this, but not having hearts of palm I used artichoke hearts. Other then that followed the recipe. A very pretty salad. Thanks for sharing. -
I wish I could give it 25 stars as this was exceptional! I added a little more of the palm hearts as I love the buggers, and a tad bit more garlic. I also used grape tomatoes that were cut in quarters. The flavors were wonderful!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
