Heirloom Chickpea Salad

I love me a tomato, especially one of the heirloom variety. But, it wasn't always so. For most of my life I hated tomatos, with a passion. I didn't like the smell, I didn't like the texture, the taste didn't even thrill me. Adding them accidentally to my dinner plate could literally bring me to tears (I was a, er, dramatic, child). It took moving to Rome when I was 20 (I'm not kidding) for me to come around and start to love this versatile fruit. Now I can't get enough, so I can't wait to give this recipe a go.
