1 3/4 cups cooked chickpeas, or 1 15-ounce can, drained and patted dry on paper
towels
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin1 pound carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
1/4 cup shelled, salted pistachios, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and red pepper flakes to taste
Salad
Dressing
Roast chickpeas: Heat
oven to 425 degrees F. Toss chickpeas with one tablespoon olive oil, salt and
cumin until they’re all coated. Spread them on a baking sheet or pan and roast
them in the oven until they’re browned and crisp. This can take anywhere from
15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and firmness of your chickpeas. Toss
them occasionally to make sure they’re toasting evenly. Set aside until needed.
Make dressing: Whisk
all ingredients together until smooth, adding more water if needed to thin the
dressing slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning; don’t worry if it tastes a
little sharp on the lemon, it will marry perfectly with the sweet grated
carrots.
Assemble salad: Place
grated carrots in large bowl and toss with parsley. Mix in 2/3 of the dressing,
adding more if desired. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with a
large handful of chickpeas.

Today we looked at the word "to freeze"/ We used the word for different purposes. A silly sentence: I refreeze the frozen cherry freeze.
