Chickpea and black bean salad



Tasty-nice flavors--

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
1 can black beans (15 oz)
1/2 cup chopped purple onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes, or plum tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil (could add some dry as well)
1/4 cup chopped mint (I only had dried, but used some fresh oregano too)
Me--fresh snips of oregano and some dried--to taste
1/4 cup parsley (I didn't have any---used some dried)
Salt to taste and black pepper if you can tolerate it ;-)

Mix the above together.

Dressing

2 cloves minced garlic
3 tab olive oil
(if desired--optional--1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 tsp maple syrup----I didn't use these

Toss together and refrigerate at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend.  I do like fresh oregano in mine.
