It’s hot and steamy outside, so why not cool off with a delicious, flavorful salad? That’s what’s on the menu, as we grab a Bite with Belkys.
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds ripe tomatoes, different sizes- cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cups chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves and stems
1 ½ ounces Parmesan, chopped or crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup kalamata olives, torn in half and pitted
3 tbs. drained capers
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice or more to taste
1 small garlic clove, grated
Salt to taste
Method of Preparation:
- In a large bowl, stir together the tomatoes, chickpeas, parsley, Parmesan, olive oil, capers, lemon juice and garlic.
- Season lightly with salt and stir again. Let sit for ten minutes or up to two hours at room temperature.
- Before serving, taste and add more salt and lemon juice until it tastes bright. The balance is largely dependent on your tomatoes.
- Serve this salad at room temperature.
This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Enjoy!
