cauliflower & chickpeas salad

I concocted this dish yesterday — following a sudden, unambitious inspiration — but people liked it and said I should transcribe the recipe.  So, here you go, people:

Step 1: Boil some chickpeas. They’ll taste so much better than the canned ones.  You will probably need less than 1 cup of dry chickpeas for this but since cooking them is a bit of a commitment, why not make more and use the rest to whip up some delicious homemade hummus?  

To cook the chickpeas:

soak overnight rinse add new water (1:4), bring to a boil add 1 small peeled onion and 1-2 garlic cloves (and an herb of choice — I like bay leaf and oregano) simmer covered for 2 hours (I add salt to the water after 1.5 hours of simmering) drain (reserve some of that liquid if you’re also making hummus)
