I love chick peas and will use them in as many ways possible. This is a terrific, fresh salad that is super easy to assemble and has a wonderfully fresh flavor because of the mint and lemon zest. Great for picnics and barbecues.
Ingredients
1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
1 garlic clove minced
Zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
Preparation
In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. In another bowl, toss together chick peas, mint, lemon zest and parmesan cheese. Pour the dressing over the chick peas, season with salt and toss again to mix in to ensure dressing and salt are evenly distributed. Taste for seasoning and serve.
