My son was coming for a visit and I wanted something healthy to make. We've had our share of pizza and other not so healthy but oh so yummy meals. I made this and OMIGOSH it was delicious!
Chickpea and Black Bean Salad
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 can sliced beets, drained and rinsed, diced
1 small can of sliced black olives, drained
3 tomatoes, diced
Half of a red onion, diced
3/4 to 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 of a cucumber, peeled and diced
A few romaine lettuce leaves, ribs removed, leaves chopped
Mix all of these items together in a large bowl. Mix together, then add the following:
3 T. olive oil
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. lime juice
1-1/2 t. oregano
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
Serve. Enjoy! This was so delicious I had no leftovers.
