Who says you need meat for protein?  Chick peas are high in protein, as well as in fiber and iron.  Tasty too.  So, eat up!

 

1 can chick peas (19 oz.)

2 tbsp finely chopped red onion or green onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tomato, diced

½ cup chopped parsley

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

 

In salad bowl, combine all ingredients and toss.  Chill for 2 hours to blend and develop flavours before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning.  Makes 4 servings
