Cucumber-Tomato Salad with Basil and Chickpeas

December 22, 2009 By Karen Ficarelli

Talk about delicious! This is a great dish no matter what the weather. Cukes and tomatoes are always cool, but the chickpeas make this dish kind of warm and cozy.

1 can 15 oz.
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
4-5 tomatoes cut into wedges
2 Tbsp. of chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup champagne vinegar/or any vinegar & oil for dressing

Directions
1. Drain Chick Peas
2. Add together in bowl, chick peas, cucumber, tomato and basil.
3. Go light on the dressing, let the natural juices of the salad work together.

Health Benefits
High in fiber and great source of protein, chickpeas are a healthy addition to your diet. Helps to lower cholesterol and improve sugar levels. Of course the tomatoes are full of antioxidants and are excellent for digestion. The scent of basil gets my mouth watering, especially when paired with the tomato.
