COLORFUL CHICKPEA AND BLACK BEAN SALAD



Colorful Chickpea and Black Bean Salad image

This is really more of a "chickpea compote!" I love this and make it with tons of variations. Here's the basic recipe. I serve these with toasted pita triangles brushed with olive oil and dusted with cumin and kosher salt. this is great for informal gatherings or parties when you need to bring a dish. You could easily make lots of this and I often do. Mmmm!! Add the peppers if you want--just depends on whether you like peppers! the ingredients say red and green ones, but I've added orange and yellow as well. This is an add/delete kind of recipe--keep changing it little by little as you make it!

Provided by Inge 1505

Categories     Beans

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (14 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 yellow bell pepper, in 3/8 inch dice
1 medium tomatoes, deseeded, in 3/8 inch dice
1 jalapeno, deseeded, minced (to taste)
2 small scallions, in 3/8 inch slices
2 tablespoons basil, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Note: I use white and light green parts of scallions only. - Adjust hotness to your taste by choosing the amount of jalapeno.
  • For the dressing mix all ingredients except oil together until blended. Add oil and taste. It should be nicely sour.
  • Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl, pour dressing over and mix thoroughly.
  • Let flavors blend for at least 15 minutes or keep in the fridge up to 24 hours ( use less jalapeno then). Serve at room temperature.
  • NOTE: If you plan to make the salad ahead of time, consider to add the basil only 30 minutes before serving, so it won't get all brown, but the flavors will have time to blend.
