Green Bean and Chickpea Salad
Here is a simple yet tasty cold salad that uses those great green (or yellow, or purple) beans. It is from Jane Brody's Good Food Book.
- 1 lb. green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1 16-ounce can of chickpeas (garbanzos), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 C chopped onion
Dressing:
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried
- 1/4 tsp. salt, if desired
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lg. clove garlic, crushed
- 1 1/2 tbsp. olive or salad oil
Steam beans until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Place beans, chickpeas and onion in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and add to the bean mixture, tossing well. Chill for 1 hour or more before serving. Serves 6 to 8
