Mediterranean Salad With Chickpea Patties
Recipe from Eating Well [1]
Ingredients
- 1 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 cups mixed greens, washed
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
- In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper. Mix it just enough so it's still coarse (if you blend too much, you'll have a creamy hummus consistency). Then stir in the flour.
- In a pan, heat up the oil. Form patties that are about three inches in diameter, and place them in the pan. Fry both sides until golden brown.
- While the patties are cooking, make the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and a little pepper.
- Place the greens on a plate, and add tomatoes and sliced onions. Place two patties next to the salad, drizzle with the yogurt dressing and serve.
Makes four servings.
