  • 15 ounce canned chickpeas, well drained and rinsed*
  • 1 cup (heaped) marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 small red onion, slivered
  • 1 cup assorted olives, sliced or halved
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, julienned

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the dressing ingredients in a small food processor and process until combined but still a little bit chunky. Taste to adjust any of the flavors and set aside.
  2. Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with enough of the dressing to moisten but not drown the salad.
  3. Chill the salad until ready to serve. Can be made up to several hours ahead.

Notes

  • *a thorough rinsing goes a long way toward getting rid of any canned flavor in your beans. Plus it removes some of the excess sodium.
