Ingredients

    Smashed Chickpea Salad
    Inspired by ‘wichcraft

    1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    2 tablespoons pitted, halved and very thinly sliced black olives
    1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    Zest 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 salt
    A few grinds of black pepper
    Olive 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.

    Incredible!
    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

    Incredible!
    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
