Name: Summer Chickpea Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard; 1 clove garlic, finely chopped; 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil; 6 medium red radishes, ends trimmed, thinly sliced; 4 green onion, thinly sliced; 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed; 1 cup halved cherry (or grape) tomatoes; 6 cups salad greens; 2 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese (1/2 oz.); 1/2 medium avocado, chopped

This salad of crunchy radishes, juicy cherry tomatoes, mild green onions, chickpeas, and feta is delicious with or without lettuce.

For a different spin, we combined our leftover bean mixture with a can of tuna — and it’s a revelation!

Keep the mixture separate from the salad greens until you’re ready to serve, then top the summer chickpea salad with creamy avocado slices.
