Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • mason jars

Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 3 large bunches fresh parsley
  • 2 cups Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 green onions
  • 2 14 ounce cans No-Salt-Added Chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup mint

For the Dressing:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
 

For the Salad

  • Wash the parsley and mint, and pat dry.  Finely chop (or use a food processor!) each bunch of parsley, use both the leaves and stems.  Repeat with the mint, and add the greens to a large mixing bowl. Add drained chickpeas.
  • Finely dice the tomatoes (usually 3 large, or 1 pint of cherry).  I prefer to use cherry/grape tomatoes because they are a bit sweeter during the winter, but large roma or beefsteak tomatoes will work just fine anytime, especially in season!
  • Slice green onion and add to the bowl along with the greens and tomatoes.

For the Dressing

  • In a pint or quart sized mason jar: juice 2 large lemons, removing seeds.  Add equal part olive oil to the lemon juice.  Then using the garlic press (my preferred method!) press 2 large cloves of garlic into the dressing.  Add a lil salt, add a lil pepper, and shake the jar to combine.
  • If you want to spice it up, add a few red pepper flakes to the dressing too!
