Warm Chickpea Salad image

I've been trying to include more beans into our diet recently. This is a great warm salad for fish or chicken. Leftovers are great reheated too. If you dont like chillies-no problem just leave them out (although to add some extra flavour in place of the chillies ,you might like to add some extra lemon juice, salt and pepper). Serves 4. You can use cannelini or any other white bean in place of the chickpeas. Serve with lemon wedges. For gluten-free or cegetarian-check stock is suitable for your diet
