Ingredients

  • 1 can chick peas (19 oz/540 ml), rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup cilantro/coriander, chopped, or substitute fresh parsley,
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red pepper, chopped
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • cayenne pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients together and toss well.
  2. Taste for seasoning.
  3. Let the salad stand for about 1 hour and serve.

    Tips & Variations

    This is a great dish to accompany grilled meat, chicken or fish on the BBQ.

    I love it as a picnic dish with other salads and some interesting breads to sop up the dressing. (Rosemary focaccia, French Baguette, etc.).

    To serve as a main dish for light supper or lunch, just spoon the chick peas over endive leaves, baby mixed greens or baby spinach.
