Vampires Beware.
Happy Halloween everyone! Does anyone have any super cool Halloween plans? We are headed over to Damian's parents tonight for dinner and handing out candy. I love seeing all the kids and dogs of their neighborhood in costumes. Being a kid in NYC, on Halloween, is much different then it is here in the Midwest. We trick or treated from store to store/restaurant instead of houses. This made for an interesting loot at the end of the night. You could find anything from candy-to-money-to-items the store/restaurant sold. My favorite was always the giant Ice cream cones.Last night I made a salad that suddenly feels fitting for the night before Halloween. I added some extra garlic and it really made a difference. This recipe turned out great but I would not suggest going on a date after eating it, you may need to bring a few mints.
Chickpea and Tomato Salad
What you need:
- 1 Can low sodium Chick Peas/ garbanzo beans
- 1 pint plum tomatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 10 leaves of fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving.
Along side the salad I made a mesquite BBQ pork loin.
Have a spooooky Halloween!
