Bring water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Pour in polenta steadily, stirring constantly. Continue to stir until polenta is thickened. It should come away from sides of the pan, and be able to support a spoon. This can take anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes. Pour polenta onto a wooden cutting board, let stand for a few minutes.

Mediterranean Chickpea Pasta Salad
This Mediterranean chickpea pasta salad recipe is picnic-friendly, vegan, and gluten free. I created this salad for friends who can't eat gluten or dairy. I used produce just harvested from my garden, but you can change-up the vegetables based on what you have on hand. If you're not dairy-free, feta cheese is a great addition.
