Ingredients
- 1 can (about 15 oz.) chickpeas (garbonzo beans)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced (substitute 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley or cilantro leaves, or a mixture
- 3 tablespoons bottled vinaigrette, or to taste
- lettuce leaves or other greens, for serving (optional)
This colorful and nuitritious salad can be ready in a flash if you use left-over rice. If you
need to prepare the rice, it will take about 20 minutes longer. Use as a side salad for four or
as a main dish for two. Chickpeas, also called garbonzo beans, are a good protein source, but you
can increase the protein level by adding cooked meat, diced or crumbled cheese or nuts such as
walnuts, almonds or peanuts. Be creative! Exact proportions aren't critical.
