This easy salad is a great companion to many Italian-style pasta dishes or simple grain dishes, especially if the meal needs a protein boost.

Serves: 4 to 6

  • 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 10- to 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut into strips
  • 3 medium firm, ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large celery stalk, diced
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Mixed baby greens or baby arugula (or a combination), as needed

Combine all the ingredients except the greens in a mixing bowl and toss well.

To serve, line individual plates with greens and spoon some of the salad over them.
