I knew I'd love this salad when I saw the ingredients as it has all the flavors I love: tomato, chickpea, mint, olive oil, and of course, basil. I've tweaked this recipe and come up with:
Tomato and Chickpea Salad
3 cups (or so) cherry or grape tomatoes. Depending on their size I cut them in half or leave them whole.
2 15 oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
a handful or two of fresh basil, chopped
some fresh mint, chopped
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
coarse sea salt
Toss all tomatoes, chickpeas, basil, and mint together. Drizzle/dress with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with coarse sea salt according to taste.

I need to try this. I love chickpeas and I have loads of tiny cherry tomatoes (my plants are producing like mad right now) as well as fresh basil and mint in the garden. Thanks.
I hope the packing is going well.
Making this today!!! thank you.
