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)

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.
