the current issue of eating well magazine had this recipe in it -that sounded really good...
Chic Pea Salad
1 7-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
3 cups peeled, seeded and diced cucumber
2 cups halved grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup Creamy Ranch Dressing
Freshly ground pepper to taste
The recipe included really disgusting sounding home made ranch dressing -that used cottage cheese and other stuff blended -I'll stick with Maries fromt he produce section.
Place chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, onion, dressing and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until coated.

the recipe said it made 6 servings -maybe for birds it would serve 6 but using a low fat dressing - it made the calories a lot less...
