Chickpea/Garbanzo Salad

Created by Mary on January 3, 2012

1 can (15 ounce) garbanzo beans, drained (about 2 cups)
3 green onions, sliced on a diagonal, both white and green parts
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (or flat leaf parsley, chopped)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil, works with 1 tablespoon too, so experiment here)

Step 1: Prepare all ingredients, draining the garbanzos, slicing the onions, chopping the cilantro and tomato, cutting or crumbling the feta in pieces, measuring the seasonings.
Step 2: Combine the garbanzos, onions, and parsley.
Step 3: Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and pepper. Stir into garbanzo mixture.
Step 4: Stir in feta and chill to develop the flavors.
Step 5: To serve, spoon salad on a bed of shredded lettuce and garnish with tomatoes.
Step 6: Variations we have enjoyed include adding Kalamata olives and drained cannellini beans. Grilled or smoked chicken is also good. Try it with baked or grilled salmon.
