Instructions:
This light but filling salad is loaded with protein and vitamins. Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber, while feta adds protein, calcium, and B-vitamins and a foodie touch to this inexpensive dish. The mint really makes it if you can find fresh mint at a good price (we often grow our own), though you can substitute other fresh or dried herbs if you have them. Garlic crostini are tasty and quick to prepare.

A flavorful burst of summer sunshine, via the fresh mint leaves, to brighten our winter day in Ohio! Easy to make, light, delectable, loaded with protein, altogether delightful. And I'll share a nifty little secret - if there are leftovers, simply warm them slightly and toss on hot, freshly cooked pasta. (Maybe add another drizzle of olive oil also.) Wow! In fact, that is such a good use of this recipe that you could make it for that purpose, tossing all with hot pasta, and bringing down the per-serving cost even further, I imagine.
