Chunked Tomato, Fennel, And Chickpea Salad
Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, retain their firmness when
cooked so they give a salad an especially good texture. If you have
access to garden- fresh cucumbers, you can use them
unpeeled. Otherwise, buy the long, unwaxed, thin-skinned seedless
English variety.
