Here is a great vegetarian salad! Awesome as a main dish. Easy to put together as no cooking is required. This recipe is also great beacuse you can interchange flavors and make it different everytime which as usual I have adjusted to my own taste. I happen to love chickpeas but you can easily interchange the chickpeas for black beans or any other kind of bean you fancy! I am also a huge fan of Mexican Cuisine and this has a really tasty Mexican influence incorporating Queso Fresco, a Mexican curmbling cheese and chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce!
Ingredients:
1 TBSP Fresh Lime Juice
Canned Chipolte Peppers in Adobo Sauce (use 1 minced pepper per serving)
1 TSP Olive Oil
1 Cup Canned Chickpeas rinsed and drained
1/2 Cup Kumato, Grape or Cherry Tomatoes quartered
1/4 Avocado diced
2 TBSP Cilantro chopped
1 TBSP Red Onion Chopped
1 Cup Mixed Greens
1 OZ Queso Fresco Crumbled
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Combine lime juice, chipoltle pepper, oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well and then add the chickpeas, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and onion. Sprinkle Queso Fresco on top and voila!
Enjoy! You will thank me..
