Lemon Caper Chickpea Salad

IMG_1257 (1024x768)

This salad is lemony and hearty – and perfect served over a whole grain. It’s also highly customizable. Switch out your bean, veggies, grain, nuts or cheese to suit what you have in your fridge.

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes (or any veggies you like)
  • ~1-2 cups baby spinach, chopped (or any other green or lettuce)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • ~2 tbsp walnuts

Dressing Ingredients

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of half a lemon (~2 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp capers (it’s fine if you also get some caper juice in there)
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise (I used Hellman’s Olive Oil. Tahini would also be a great addition here!)

After zesting the lemon, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt and capers and wisk together.

I wasn’t sure if the mayo emulsion would break apart with such high acidity (and didn’t dare try yogurt….but maybe next time!) so I tempered the acid into the mayo, adding a little bit at a time until it was rather runny and then I poured the mayo mixture into the mixing bowl.

Mix everything else in, saving a little feta and walnuts for garnish.

Makes about 2.5-3 cups of salad.

We served this over quinoa (~ 1/2 a cup per person).
