Ingredients

Smashed Chickpea SaladInspired by �wichcraft1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed2 tablespoons pitted, halved and very thinly sliced black olives1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsleyZest and juice from half a lemon (if you�ve got one of those sad, juiceless lemons, use both sides for juice)Couple good pinches of saltA few grinds of black pepperOlive oil to taste (I used half a tsp)

Directions

Mix everything but the olive oil in a small to midsize bowl. Very lightly smash the chickpea mixture with the back of a fork or a potato masher. You�re not looking for a hummus-like puree but something closer to a coarse chop with a few smaller bits to hold it together. Add the glugs of olive oil, mix it lightly and enjoy.

This is also awesome as a sandwich on toasted bread, and it needs nothing else on it. But, if you want to doll it up, here are some ideas: A slice of roasted red pepper (as they do at �wichcraft), watercress (ditto), a slice of pickled garlicky red pepper (our way). We schmeared the bread with a tahini dressing, which was just tahini, lemon juice and a minced garlic clove thinned with water, but if you�ve got some harissa, I bet that would also be delicious.

This is a good sandwich filling. Glad to see recipe again as I had forgotten to make it in awhile. I like the addition of roasted red peppers,like hummus as a topping too. Found some in Oasis brand nonfat lentil, black bean etc and other flavors Hummus, which is great and low in calories.Thanks - 1/14/18

This is four servings if you use it as a sandwich filling, but it's also great as a side. I'd say you get two or maybe three servings as a side. - 6/9/15
