SOPHIE'S SUPER EASY CHICKIE-PEA AND MATO SALAD



Sophie's Super Easy Chickie-Pea and Mato Salad image

A refreshing, flavorful salad with just a hint of smokiness. My 3 year old and I were looking to make a quick and healthy lunch with what we had on hand. This was the tasty result. We've been experimenting with garbanzo beans (chickpeas) over the last year and she giggles whenever we eat them because her pronunciation is "chickie-peas". Since she helped create this dish and then had two helpings, I named it after her. :)
