Smitten Kitchen's Smashed Chickpea Salad
Wow. Deb over at Smitten Kitchen knows what she is doing. Holy Moly. I wanted to make a different type of dip for lunch with our favorite bishop on Saturday. Hummus, baba ghanoush, lebneh- mine would never compare to what these men have eaten all over the world and Middle East in the past. So when I saw Deb’s Smashed Chickpea Salad, I knew it would be the perfect creative dip for the lunch!
I served this with some toasted lavash bread, sliced red pepper, and baby carrots. Also, deviating from the recipe, I smashed the chickpeas all the way to make it more dippy. It was a success, and you all need to try it!
Find the original recipe here, and let her know how much you like it once you try it!!!!!!!
The ingredients are:
-1 can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained well.
-chopped red onion
-chopped kalamata olives
-lemon zest and juice
-a bit of parsley
-sea salt and pepper
It was reallly delicious, and all of the guys (my dad, PB, and the bishop) loved it!

Smitten Kitchen does such a good job of posting recipes.. I really like their salads too! I haven’t been able to make any of them lately, but after seeing your pictures of the smashed chickpea salad, I’m definitely gonna get right on it! Kudos. Thanks so much for the pictures too, now I know what it’s supposed to look like finished–haha!
