Hearty Summer Salad
Summary
Beat the heat with this refreshing organic chickpea and black-eyed pea salad, perfect for those scorching days when turning on the stove is just not an option. Delicious when served cold, this salad pairs wonderfully with grilled favorites like organic portobello burgers or vegetarian bratwurst.
Ingredients
- 2 (15 oz.) cans organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 (15 oz.) cans organic black-eyed peas
- 2 (15 oz.) cans organic artichoke hearts
- 4 large organic tomatoes
- 1 large organic onion
- 6 large fresh organic garlic cloves
- ½ cup organic olive oil
- ½ cup organic balsamic vinegar
- Dried organic parsley, to taste
- Fresh ground salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Drain the chickpeas and black-eyed peas, then place them in a large bowl. Chop the artichoke hearts into eighths (if whole) or quarters (if halved). Dice the tomatoes and onion, and add them to the bowl. Use a garlic press to crush the garlic cloves and mix them in.
2. Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pour this over the salad ingredients.
3. Season and Toss: Add a few generous pinches of parsley, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure even coating with the vinaigrette.
4. Customize Your Salad: Feel free to adjust the vinaigrette's tanginess by changing the balsamic vinegar to olive oil ratio. You can also try different vinegars, such as red wine or raspberry balsamic, for varied flavors.
5. Finishing Touches: Consider adding fresh chopped basil or any other organic herbs that suit your taste. For added color and flavor, substitute organic scallions (green onions) for the diced onions.

- Serve with hearty whole grain bread, ideally organic and locally baked, to absorb the flavorful vinaigrette.
