Gingery Marinated Chickpeas

Sharon123's Note:

This is best when made several days before eaten. Put on top of salad greens, or on mixed with hot rice. You may use canned chick peas for this. I got this from an old notebook which I had written recipes in a long time ago. I suspect it comes from Moosewood cookbook. Prep time does not include cooking of chickpeas.

Went well and perfectly I thought with a Middle Eastern-themed dinner tonight. I used red onion and scallions for color. However herbs like cilantro, parsley, basil or oregano would work, too. I didn't have time to marinate the salad for more than a few hours but it was good and I can only imagine it will taste even better tomorrow what little is remaining. Thank you!

This IS from the Moosewood Cookbook. This is one of those old standby recipes that easily makes the jump from the 70s to now! So fresh tasting, even with canned chickpeas.
