Hey Guys! I'm back from my yearly vacation with the boys. This year we traveled to Assateague and Annapolis -- click here to check it out -- and had an absolute blast!
Needless to say, I haven't done much cooking but I have a lot of things in the works. In the meantime, I'll be reposting some of GreenLiteBites Vintage Summer favorites including this idea for Chickpea and Tomato Salad with Fresh Basil.
This was, by far the most popular recipe on my old site. It's fast, easy and a great addition to any summer meal!

Hi, I am planning to make this for dinner party of 6. I used the tool to increase the number of servings from 2 to 6. I can't help by question how the large quantity of these two ingredients. Basil increased from x to 75 large basil leaves and the garlic increased from x cloves to 9 cloves. Seems like way too much!
