Personal Notes:
I just really read the ingredients and see it's a cup of chickpeas, I've always just used the can; I'll continue to do that.
The recipe doesn't call for the cranberries but I thought it needed just a little sweet so I tossed them in. I didn't measure. I think Pomegranates might be even better but they aren't in season all the time. I think perhaps a little mango or even a touch of fresh sliced pineapple might be good.
I made this for Easter, thinking that people probably wouldn't like it. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they did. Win!
