made a " mixture " the other day that has served me as a lunch item, a snack and a dinner side dish. Mmmmm It started out sort of as a 3 bean salad ( like a cold thing, I used canned red and white kidney beans, and some chick peas ) but when I added cooked quinoa, fresh green onions from out back and some olive oil, seasonings and some raspberry Vinaigrette I could not stop eating it! Not everyone here loves chick peas, too bad, so sad, more for me!
