Since I often have chickpeas 365+ days in a row many people ask, “How big is that can of chickpeas you buy?”
Answer: It’s almost 7 pounds!!!
This is the can of chickpeas I get at Costco next to a “normal” sized can of beans. I’d like to think that this ratio is my love of beans compared to yours…
Yesterday I broke open my massive can of chickpeas for lunch. I made a
Chickpea Asian Slaw.
Throw in a huge bowl: 1 package of shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped green onion, 2 cups of chickpeas, 2 cups of brown rice. For the dressing I mixed a soy ginger dressing with PB and sriracha. Toss and enjoy.
Garnish with peanuts and be prepared to be amazed. 
I ate some again for lunch today and thought it would be good hot. So, I threw it in the microwave for two minutes and had a Asian stir-fry! So good. 
This is one of those meals that is better the next day. Overnight the slaw marinated in the dressing and it was flavorful and perfectly tender.
Also, since the slaw has beans and rice and veggies – it is a great dish to bring to a potluck where you’re not sure if there will be “veggie” food options. 
Haha! Very nice visual illustration of your love of chickpeas. I don’t know why ratio jokes crack me up so much. That’s a good indication that I’m a nerd.
I have to make that! It looks great! All hail the chickpea!
Totally making this, this week. I love stuff like this that you can just throw in the fridge and have lunch or dinner ready to roll for a few days! I bet the spiracha totally makes it…at least it would for me!
That is awesome! I should really consider upgrading my can size the way I go through some things as well… chick peas being one of them!
Interesting flavors for a dressing! I need to try that! Don’t know about the hot sauce though….
wow i think i have all those ingredients at home right now. sounds like an easy meal that ends up very tasty.
That’s a HUGE can!! Love it!
The salad looks so good. Yum!!
Why has it never occured to be to buy canned beans from Costco before? All that wasted time, shame on me lol! Looks yum!
What a cool idea! I just bought a few cans of chickpeas from Whole Foods but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them. This looks yummy!
You’re awesome! I love your blog 7 lbs worth!
That is one giant can of chickpeas!!
I LOVE chickpeas!! This looks like something I would LOVE and easy enough to put together.
I don’t think I’ve seen Soy Ginger Dressing here in Canada, I will have to see what I can come up with.
thanks for posting!!
Does Costco sell giant can openers, too?
Ha! I have the worst time opening this thing up!
holy yum! i don’t know why, but for some reason lately i’ve been craving asian food…AND i have a can (normal sized :)) of chickpeas in my pantry to use. i think i might roast them with that sauce on them…HOLY YUM!
