Today we’re making pasta salad. Again. But different! A new one! This is not a “every vegetable in the crisper” pasta salad and it’s certainly not an “antipasto platter in a bowl” pasta salad. In the pasta salad world I’m living in, pasta salad is a focused and thoughtful assembly of a few ingredients, all treated a little differently– in this case, burst, jammy tomatoes, vinegar marinated onions and crumbles of hard, salty cheese (if you want), and a very cool, extremely special secret ingredient (it’s sun-dried tomatoes). This pasta salad is meant to be enjoyed as a side dish, with grilled chicken, or perhaps a hot dog. Welcome back from the 80s and 90s, sun-dried tomatoes, we (and all our pasta salads) have missed you.

Today we’re making an oldie but a goodie, a new-classic, modern canon, a sleeper-hit: Frizzled Chickpea Salad. “Frizzling” is done by sautéing in a generous amount of olive oil till deeply browned and roughed up around the edges, not totally crispy, just simply…frizzled. It’s a good technique to take the edge off a just-opened can of otherwise bland chickpeas, especially good when done in tandem with a mess of sliced onions that frizzle alongside. Today we’re salad-ifying the chickpeas with a bounty of herbs (always keep it leafy, spriggy, coarse); they’re also great with halloumi or feta crumbled on top, spooned on top of a bed of yogurt or labne, served alongside roast chicken, fried eggs, or maybe even a hot dog? A version of this recipe was first featured in Nothing Fancy, a book you should most certainly own.
