Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS:
• 1 can (19 oz/540 ml) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup mini fresh mozzarella balls, halved (4 oz/113 g – see tip below)
• 1/3 cup minced red onions
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

METHOD:
1. Add the ingredients in the order listed to a large bowl and mix will.

2. The salad may be served immediately,or salad can stand at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving. Since tomatoes tend to lose their flavour when refrigerated, we recommend you add them at the last-minute if you’re preparing this salad in advance.

Tip: Look for fresh mini mozzarella balls, called “mini bocconcini”, in small, cottage-cheese-like
containers where you buy specialty cheeses at your grocery store or ask for them at the deli-cheese
counter. Fresh mozzarella is completely different from regular mozzarella. It’s very soft, white,
and mild.
