Roasted Chick Peas in Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette

I was browsing recipes one day when I came across one for Cilantro Lime Chickpea Salad by Mind Over Batter.  It looked phenomenal and I will definitely be making her version of this very shortly. But I didn't have any fresh limes or cilantro in the house but wanted to try my little spin on it. So I roasted the chick peas first, like I did when I made the Roasted Chickpea & Leek Hummus, then I just added some scallions for color and used some more of that wonderful Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar from Pampered Chef I purchased. This was SO easy to make, healthy and filling. I just wish I had made more! This would make a great salad on it's own or used on top of tossed salads to give it a little something extra. 

Roasted Chick Peas in Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette 
(Inspired by Mind Over Batter Cilantro Lime Chickpea Salad)
1-15oz. Can Chick Peas, rinsed and drained
1 Scallion (approx. 2 tbsp.), chopped
2 tsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped
3 tbsp. Pampered Chef Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar 
3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil


Place chickpeas on a baking sheet, spray with cooking spray and roast in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool. In a bowl, mix together the chickpeas, scallions, rosemary, vinegar and oil until well blended. Makes approx. four 1/2 cup servings. 


Points+=7pts per 1/2 cup


Enjoy!

Greek Rub Roasted Baby Potatoes

Can you say EASY? Three ingredients. Under 30 minutes. Side dish...DONE! I told you when I made the Vegetable Pasta Salad with Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette, that I had also purchased some other items from the Pampered Chef vendor that night. Well, this Greek Rub was another fabulous find. It contains garlic, lemon, bell peppers, and turmeric all in one nifty container. I just mixed it with a little olive oil and it made a great seasoning for my roasted potatoes. 

Greek Rub Roasted Baby Potatoes
1 lb. Red Baby C Potatoes
3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Pampered Chef® Greek Rub


Wash the potato skins well then cut in half. Add the oil and Greek Rub and mix well. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes; turning halfway. Serves 4.
