2 cloves garlic, crushed
540 ml (19 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
a dozen grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup feta cheese, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
In a medium saucepan, I brought 1/2 cup of water to a boil and added the garlic cloves and asparagus. The asparagus and garlic steamed, covered, for two minutes. Then I removed the asparagus to a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process, and reserved one clove of garlic.
In a medium mixing bowl, I combined the asparagus (cut into 2 inch pieces), chickpeas, tomatoes, and feta.
To make the vinaigrette, I combined the oil, vinegar, chili powder, and reserved garlic clove (finely chopped) in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Then I shook my bon bon vigorously to combine the mixture and poured the vinaigrette over the salad, tossing to coat. Done and done! I like simple.
I hope you enjoy having that song stuck in your head now. Ba ha ha! I'm so cruel.

ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Do you find that powder with all the other spices at the store? What other things do you use it for? I love chipotle mayo dip, anything else I could try??
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon - I love chipotle too! The chipotle chili powder I have is by Epicure, however I have seen other brands at grocery stores. Here are some other recipes I have used it in powder form:
