  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice Freshly squeezed recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic Crushed
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley For garnish

Instructions

Preparation

  • Rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water and drain them to reduce excess salt.
  • Place the rinsed chickpeas in a large saucepan over medium heat and add 1/2 cup of water.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the crushed garlic, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil to create the dressing.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the warm chickpeas and mix well, adjusting for taste.
  • Finish by topping with chopped parsley and serve with pita bread and radishes if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of olive oil or water. You can also freeze chickpeas for longer storage.
