Hello there! I’m Lisa and I usually blog
over at Everyday with Lisa. I am very excited to be guest posting on
Tattered to Taylored!
For today’s post I wanted to share one of
my favorite summer recipes – Healthy Summer Chickpea Salad. It’s light,
healthy, and delicious! The original recipe is from allrecipes.ca but I have
modified it and made it my own.
The best part? It only takes 15 minutes to make!
Let’s get started.
Ingredients:
·
2 (19 ounce)
cans chickpeas (garbanzos), drained and rinsed
·
1 pint of cherry tomatoes,
halves
·
1 cucumber, cut into small
chunks
·
2 tbsp. of basil
·
2 tbsp. of honey
·
3 gloves of garlic, minced
·
3 tbsp. of red wine vinegar
·
3 tbsp. of olive oil
·
½ tbsp. of pepper
·
¼ tbsp. of salt
·
Other fresh vegetables of your
choice
Directions:
1.
In a large bowl, combine the
chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and basil. If you are adding any other
vegetables you can add them here as well.
2.
Put honey in a small glass
bowl; heat in microwave 30 seconds. Stir garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil,
black pepper, and salt with the honey to make a dressing; pour over the
chickpea salad and toss to coat.
Be careful when removing the honey from the microwave; it’s hot!
3.
Serve immediately or cover and
refrigerate for later use. This salad will keep for up to three days.
The salad itself
it great for a lunch on its own, for a picnic or you can serve as a side dish
to things like fajitas.
Enjoy!
