Spring is in the air...

Did you feel it today??  Spring is in the air...maybe wishful thinking for the middle of February!  It was lovely and mild though--even a bit sunny this morning--you can't ask for much more on a middle of winter day!

All this mild weather has got me hankering some lighter, more summery foods--do you find you get to that point in the middle of the season where you are already craving foods from the next season? Happens to me without fail every time!

Here is a great salad recipe--great for lunch or on the side of BBQ.

Lemony Chickpea Salad
1/4 cup Greek style salad dressing 
Juice and zest from 1 lemon
1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 small red pepper diced
2 green onion dices
cracked pepper to taste


Whisk the salad dressing, lemon and zest together.  Add Chickpeas, pepper, gr. onion  and toss.  Add cracked pepper.  Serve at room temp.  This salad gets better the longer it has been sitting...so if you have time, make it a couple of hours in advance.

  1. Hi there Bonnie!

    My name is Steve Walters and I recently started blogging at http://www.eatingbangkok.com, which is currently being updated with recipes, but in the next few months will be my vehicle for covering the food and restaurant scene in Bangkok Thailand.

    I am now in the process of meeting as many food bloggers as I can and I found your site http://food-ivore.blogspot.com recently and was pretty impressed. I've added your site to my Foodie Blogs list here: http://www.eatingbangkok.com/foodie-blogs/ and would also like to add you to my blogroll.

    If you could add my site to your blogroll and write back to let me know it has been added (foodie [at] eatingbangkok.com) I will add you to mine as well and the exchange would be greatly appreciated!

    As you might imagine I am very excited to get moved to Bangkok and get started on covering the food scene there as I feel it is an area that isn't well covered by English speaking bloggers. I plan on adding loads of great reviews, pictures and even video and will be holding contests as well. It should be fun, entertaining and informative for everyone that visits.

    Thank you so much in advance for adding me to your blogroll and I look forward to reading your posts (I've subscribed!) and maybe even featuring some of your own posts as I do plan on a weekly roundup of Thai themed recipes and posts from other food bloggers.

    Warm regards,
    Steve
