Chickpea Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained well
  • 2 cups chopped English cucumber (about 2/3 of 1 medium)
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped Roma tomatoes (about 2)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and parsley to a bowl.
  • Measure out olive oil into a liquid measuring cup, pour in lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour dressing over mixture in bowl. Toss to evenly coat, season with more salt to taste if needed. Salad will taste good for a few days but texturally it’s best eaten within a few hours.

Notes

  • Garden cucumbers can be substituted just peel first.

  • Grape tomatoes will work in place of Roma tomatoes (use 1.5 cups).

  • Red wine or white wine vinegar can be substituted for lemon juice.

  • 1/3 cup feta

  • 1 (5 oz) can tuna in water, well drained

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 3/4 cup cooked quinoa

  • 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata or black olives
