Great salad. I took a cooking class where we made chickpea fritters and they were so good that it made me research more recipes using chickpeas. I found this and it is so good! From Real Simple magazine. Ingredients:
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed |
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
kosher salt and black pepper |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt (preferably greek) |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
8 cups mixed greens |
1 cup grape tomatoes |
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced |
pita chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper just until coarsely chopped and the mixture comes together when gently squeezed. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties and coat with the flour, tapping off excess.
2. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, turning carefully, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the greens, tomatoes, onion, and chickpea patties among plates. Drizzle with the dressing and serve with the pita chips, if using.
