Chickpea Herb Salad with Roasted Chicken & Feta

Serves 4

For the salad dressing:

  • Juice of 1½ lemons
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp dried hatch or red pepper
  • flakes
  • ½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the salad:

  • 1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup each: Italian flat leaf parsley, regular curly parsley, cilantro, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced on a slight diagonal
  • 2 cups chopped roasted chicken (a great use for leftover or rotisserie chicken)
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 Tb capers

In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the salad ingredients and toss. You can easily omit the chicken if you’d prefer to make a vegetarian version.
