Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean you have to start eating Fall food.  T.W.O. loves making this Chickpea Salad for a side-dish, an entrée, a topping to a salad or  even an appetizer.  (Great idea for a modified version of a bruschetta.)   How ever you want to serve it – this recipe will sure be a hit!
