Spicy Chickpea Salad 

A wonderful salad, and much more: Elegant and delicious enough to be main course, for pennies!

Dressing

• 8 cloves garlic
• 3 ribs celery, peeled
• 1 jalapeno pepper, stem cut off
• 1 bunch flat parsley
• 2 tablespoons cumin
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 pickled lemon, skin only, rinsed (skip if you don't have: Recipe is in Levana's table)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

Salad

• 3 cups canned chick peas, strained and rinsed
• 6 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced small
• 1 cup pitted Moroccan (oil-cured) olives
• 1/4 cup capers
• 3 romaine hearts, sliced very thin

In a food processor, finely grind the garlic through lemon. Add the oil and lemon juice and pulse just 1-2 times, until combine.

Place all the salad ingredients in a platter. Toss with the ground mixture. Serve at room temperature.
