"Great salad. I took a cooking class where we made chickpea fritters and they were so good that it made me research more recipes using chickpeas. I found this and it is so good! From Real Simple magazine."

ingredients

1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
¹⁄₂ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 garlic clove, chopped
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
¹⁄₂ cup low-fat yogurt (preferably Greek)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8 cups mixed greens
1 cup grape tomatoes
¹⁄₂ small red onion, thinly sliced
pita chips (optional)

directions

In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper just until coarsely chopped and the mixture comes together when gently squeezed. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties and coat with the flour, tapping off excess.
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, turning carefully, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the greens, tomatoes, onion, and chickpea patties among plates. Drizzle with the dressing and serve with the pita chips, if using.
