This past weekend, I worked late, didn't prepare even mentally what to make for dinner. My husband suggested going out, but I really just wanted to stay in. So, I made this salad easily and quickly, mostly from items I had in the house. As my husband said - definitely, a keeper!
2 cans chick peas - rinsed and drained
1 small red onion - chopped
4 stalks of celery - chopped (add more or less to taste)
2 garlic gloves - peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
In a large bowl, add the first 4 ingredients. Then 'sprinkle' on the red pepper flakes, oregano and basil. Add the vinegar and olive oil. Toss to mix! PLEASE taste before adding any salt. Remember the chick peas were canned with salt, so you may just need to add pepper!
I enjoyed this for dinner, but it is also a wonderful side dish! Enjoy!
