1 large garlic clove -- peeled

1 pinch ground cumin -- or more to taste

1 pinch garam masala or curry powder

on the lettuce. Garnish with zucchini and plums. Top with the vinaigrette. Serve

immediately.

NOTES : Jack says that " ...chickpeas are especially popular in southern Italy.

They are often ground with spices and herbs and turned into little patties. "

Here, they are sauteed and served over salad greens with a thick onion and

mustard vinaigrette. The plum adds color and a touch of sweetness.

NOTES : The texture of this dressing is rather thick; a little goes a long way.

Apple juice finishes the sauce. Use as condiment for portobello mushrooms,

falafel, meat or fish.
