I got a summer salad for you today!
I am always looking for good recipes to try.
One way I gather newness is I am constantly asking my friends for their recipes that they love.
Last summer we were invited over to one of our Bootcampers houses for a cookout, and she made the best relish/topping for a salad/dip for chips and I had to have the recipe.
Of course JC’s mom has been making this recipe for years and he was already a fan.
Jessica hooked me up with all that is in it, and now it’s one of our easy GO TO when asked to bring something to a party.
It has to be the easiest recipe ever and you can do so much with it.
I have made it as a side with our meal, on top of a salad, a dip with tortilla chips, and just a big bowl of it to dive in to is always fun as well.
I mix it up and add our own flare, like adding jalapeno’s ( I add them to everything), or maybe more veggies.
Make It Happen!
-
Start off with 2 cans of organic chick peas. Drain and rinse them and then throw them in a big bowl.
-
Add a can of sliced black olives, a chopped up red and/or green bell pepper, red onion diced up, cilantro chopped, and a small package of feta cheese (optional).
-
Throw all of this into a bowl and mix it thoroughly and set aside while you mix your topping.
-
In a separate bowl place 2 squeezed lemons (juice minus the seeds) and some olive oil, salt and pepper to your taste liking. Mix this up really good.
-
Pour your chick pea salad that you set aside into the mix and mix all of the ingredients together really good again.
*For the best results, make it an hour ahead of time and place in the fridge for an hour or 2, then serve!
Yummmm!
