feta bean salad This is a fresh tasting salad with a lemon dressing that makes you think of spring. I will probably add olives and cucumbers next time and double the recipe. Great in wraps, added to lettuce or on it's own.

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 - 5 servings

Ingredients:

2 cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1 red pepper, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup feta or goat cheese
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 Tbsp olive oil
pepper and salt, to taste

Steps:

Chop and combine vegetables in a large bowl with the feta cheese. Add drained and rinsed beans to the mixture and mix well.
Combine lemon juice (about 1/4 cup) and olive oil. Use a fork or whisk to mix together, then add to salad. Add pepper, salt and lemon zest as you wish.

This salad is better after a few hours and keeps well. Feel free to substitute different types of beans, cheese or herbs for variations on the salad. Parmesan, oregano and tomato would be delicious.
