Chickpea and Black Bean Salad

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.
