super creative. looking forward to trying out this wonderful chick pea combo... might even enter the running to compete with the twice baked potato salad, which was amazing!
ReplyDeleteHello Merlyn! This is a great recipe. You could also skip the bread and serve it on a bed of fresh spinach! I am glad you liked the potato salad. Yum!
ReplyDeleteHi Karla
ReplyDeleteWhat is Nutritional Yeast and why is it used here?
Love all your food at H3! :-)
Hello Debbie! I am glad you love all of our food! Nutritional yeast is yellow in color and has a cheesy/nutty flavor. It is often popular in a vegetarian diet because it is a complete protein and has 15 minerals. Nutritional yeast is available in most health food stores. A few fun ways to include it into your diet include; sprinkling some on top of a low calorie popcorn, sprinkling a little on roasted kale, or sprinkle a little on your scrambled eggs in the morning. Enjoy!
