Kamut and Chickpea Salad

November 12, 2010 by my1stwordwaschocolate in "chickpeas", "kamut", "side dish", "vegan"

A really filling and delicious salad that would pair nicely with all sorts of proteins. It's also perfect for a picnic since it doesn't need to be refrigerated.

The original recipe can be found at this link

Kamut and Chickpea Salad 

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked Kamut berries*
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 2 roasted red peppers drained
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup minced parsley

Dressing Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 or 3 minced cloves of minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh Herbs, (your choice)

Directions

In a small bowl, blend together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon-style mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herb. Mix all the salad ingredients together with dressing in a bowl. Best if marinated for about an hour before serving. It gets better the longer it sits! Check seasoning before serving.
