I just made this for dinner the other night and it's SO delicious that I had to share it!!
I'm also attaching a pic (I'm new to figuring how to post pics so forgive me if they don't show up correctly!!)
1 (15 oz) can low sodium chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
1/2 small red onion (I soak it in ice water while I'm preparing the salad - don't like the onion overpowering the other flavors)
1/2 cucumber (seeded and chopped)
3-6 plum tomatoes (chopped)
2 TBS chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, chopped or minced
1/4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese (can leave this out if you don't like feta)
3 TBS fresh lemon juice
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt (can leave out if you're using feta since feta is pretty salty)
In a large bowl, combine everything and toss to mix ingredients. Let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Makes 4 servings (1 cup is a serving).
Nutritional Facts:
Calories - 160
Carbs - 23 grams
Fat - 6 grams
Protein - 8 grams
Fiber - 6 grams
Sodium - 312 grams (if you don't add extra salt, you'll need to adjust this number)
Enjoy!!

I almost make this exact same salad but with red wine vinegar iso lemon juice and I add canned tuna fish. It's SO GOOD and really don't care for canned tuna but hey, it's great and you get your protein. Thanks for reminding me of it though - haven't made it in awhile!
