Moroccan Chickpea Salad

In Morocco, most meals begin with a selection of “kemia,” or small bites, and salads. A simple meal will begin with, say, three salads, while an elaborate meal may start with an impressive platter of more than a dozen.

Today I'm going to show you a simple but flavorful (and nutritious) chickpea salad with onions and paprika.

Ingredients

1. 1 stalk celery, diced
2. 1 green pepper, diced
3. 1 med. tomato, diced
4. 1 med. onion or 6 green onions, diced (I used green onions – very tasty!)
5. 1 can chickpeas, drained
6. 1/2 cup of feta cheese
7. 2 T olive oil
8. 3 T red wine vinegar
9. 2 T fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
10. 1 T fresh parsley
11. 1 tsp fresh mint
12. 1 T ground cumin
13. salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

Toss diced vegetables & drained chickpeas. Stir dressing ingredients together. Pour over veggies and toss. Easy as pie!

Enjoy!
