Make Chickpea and Fennel Salad for a Perfect Summer Side
©Francois de Melogue François de Mélogue · Provencal Recipes · Salad · TasteFor me, cooking and gardening are two passions that go hand in hand. This year I planted a lot more fennel than I usually do, and I have been coming up with ways to use up all the extra harvest. My latest creation is a Chickpea and Fennel Salad simple summer creation that goes great with everything. We served ours with homemade grilled merguez, those delicious spicy lamb sausages native to Morocco. Learn more about cooking with chickpeas and simple French recipes on my website.
