Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I have a confession to make: I haven’t cooked since I got back from Korea nearly two weeks ago. Like, at all. (Unless you count an omelette, which I most definitely do not). I’ve been having yogurt for breakfast and eating out pretty much every other meal, with the exception...
