chickpea/garlic/olive/salad




Tasty and easy and nice combination of flavors


INGREDIENTS

from HTTP://THEWIMPYVEGETARIAN.COM/2012/08/CHICKPEAS-GARLIC-AND-OLIVES/#

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas (or one 15-ounce can)
  • 1/3 cup sliced green olives
  • 1 – 2 teaspoons minced garlic (I’ve even gone as high as 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/4 cup coarsely grated parmesan cheese (asiago cheese works great too)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (to taste)
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons olive oil (to taste) I could do less
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • 4 large basil leaves, chiffonade (I didn't have fresh so used a bail pesto and dried basil I had on hand)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Adjust for seasoning, and let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to be absorbed by the chickpeas.
