CHICKPEA AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

We enjoy this salad in about a dozen different ways, including as a solo party food or side dish, as a topping over grilled chicken or as a wrap filling. It is done in 15 minutes from start to finish.

INGREDIENTS Chickpeas Black beans Tomatoes Cucumbers Red onion Jalapenos Olive oil Vinegar Lemon juice Spices

Make this salad as spicy or mild as you’d like! For a mild version, omit they cayenne pepper and jalapeno. For an even spicier version, add 1 total jalapeno peppers and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

This is delicious chilled and also tastes great at room temperature.

Boost the flavor by adding any of the following delicious additions: chili powder, paprika, sweet corn kernels, feta cheese, avocado chunks, bell pepper, fresh parsley or other fresh herbs.

Enjoy!
