    I have made something similar with black beans but no pasta. My favorite is a green salad with mandarin oranges and avocado.

      I've never tried oranges and avocado together. I might have to try that.

      I've seen raw spinach salads on the cooking shows so I think it does.

    I love chickpeas, seriously I can’t get enough of them. I haven’t added pasta to my salad in awhile. Guess its time to change that. Thanks for the great recipe Mary :)

    Yum. I will try this. Great summer salad idea. Hmm, my favorite? I love to many. Lately I've craved Greek salad so that has been the one for the last few weeks. :)
