I love summer salads- light and fresh. We had this one tonight for a quiet vineyard picnic as the lowering sun turned all the vines to a rusty gold. After the sun was gone we had to remember that it's still early spring and I wore the picnic blanket as a cape for walking home. Here's some good warm weather flavor.
Ingredients
- chick peas, about 4 cups cooked, drained, and cooled or 1 big can
- cherry tomatoes, about 10
- 1 small red onion chopped

- mint, handful, chopped
- basil, handful, chopped
- tablespoon olive oil
- sprinkle of cayenne pepper
- sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1. Mix it all up.
2. Enjoy at your favorite picnic spot.
