Ingredients
- 15 ounces garbanzo beans rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ onion quartered
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cresson salad
- ¾ cup dates chopped fresh pitted
- 2 tablespoons scallion finely sliced
- 1 lemon zest plus juice
- ¼ cup mint chopped + some for garnish (optional)
- ½ teaspoon sumac
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparing the Garbanzo Beans
- In a medium pot add the rinsed garbanzo beans, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, onion, and salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes, the garbanzo beans need to be soft, whole but not mushy.
- Remove from heat and with a skimmer spatula remove the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and onion. Drain the garbanzo beans and set them aside to cool down.
Assembling the salad
- Once the garbanzo beans are cool down, place them in a salad bowl, and add the dates, scallions, lemon zest and lemon juice, mint, sumac, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well until everything is well incorporated. Add the cresson salad, a little bit more of the remaining olive oil and mix gently and serve.
- Garnish with fresh mint and more lemon zest, however, this step is optional.
