    Pasta and Chickpeas SaladPin

    My lunches have changed since moving to the US, obviously, as I live a different life, in a different country.

    Growing up my mom always made a good lunch. Everytime we came home from school, lunch was waiting for us at the table. She usually made soup, salad, fresh fruit juice and a main dish. I have to confess that I used to be a picky eater, so I was not a huge food fan, but I miss those delicious lunches that my mom used to make.

    I hope you enjoy this Pasta and Chickpea Salad that I made for my lunch this week. It was easy, simple, healthy and really good.

      My eating habits change when I move to Australia, too. Much less time, and no one cooks for me 😛

      Love this dish. My kind of lunch, really. Healthy, fresh and delicious.

      I love chickpeas, and this sounds like a great lunch! Actually, I'd love to have a big bowl of this salad in the refrigerator to enjoy for several lunches in a row.

      This is a great lunch especially with the garbanzos that give us some heartiness and satisfy hunger with all that good protein; the dressing is great, just the same I use generally.
