oh man. healthy, vegan, and delicious. pretty much perfect.
Smashed Chickpea Salad
Inspired by ‘wichcraft / lifted from the smitten kitchen
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons pitted, halved and very thinly sliced black olives (kalamata works best)
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Zest and juice from a whole lemon
Couple good pinches of salt
A few grinds of black pepper
A few glugs of olive oil
Mix everything but the olive oil in a small to midsize bowl. Very lightly smash the chickpea mixture with the back of a fork or a potato masher. You’re not looking for a hummus-like puree but something closer to a coarse chop with a few smaller bits to hold it together. Add the glugs of olive oil, mix it lightly and enjoy.
This is also awesome as a sandwich on toasted bread, and it needs nothing else on it. I ate mine on toasted spelt bread with a generous schmear of Ariel's red pepper hummus that I had made and it was amazing!
