Chickpea Salad

The other day I ran across a recipe for chickpea sandwich stuffing on allrecipes.com. It called for celery which I am not a fan of but I figured I could leave that out. But, instead of following the listed recipe I was inspired to create my very own chickpea salad.

You need:

• 1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup of sweet onion finely diced
• 1/2 of a cucumber, peeled, sliced and then quartered
• 1/2 of a green pepper finely diced
• 2 tablespoons of mayo
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of dried dill
• salt
• pepper

 Combine all ingredients and mix well. You can serve this as is or atop lettuce. I put it over lettuce and added tuna for some extra protein.  Hope you enjoy!
