Chick Peas vs. Cannellini Beans

Cheap and healthy options to add protien and fiber to any dish.

Chick peas- firm, meatier
Cannellini- soft, mushier
Both great with just a good rinse before using. Salt, pepper, and evoo (can add parsely, basil, or thyme, parmesan cheese, or basalmic dressing).

Add to salads as a topper (like ChrisSpinsHawthorne)
Add in pasta with cherry tomatoes and basil (dressed as above). Throw some grilled chicken in there. Oh, and some cukes! Yummy pasta salad.

Blend cannellini beans with garlic, s/p, evoo, fresh herbs, and lemon zest in blender. This will look like dip. Serve over toasted, crunchy bread drizzled with
ev-olive oil.

Serve chick peas as a side salad with diced onions, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and dressing.

Lilah actually eats these, thank goodness! Any other ideas?
