In my spot in the world, the Farmer’s market is lacking in green.

You can get turnips, potatoes, and rutabagas – but who can eat THAT all winter.
The lettuce that shows up is pretty lame so I like to make salads with other types of greens. Parsley is almost always perky and sharp.
This is fast, delicious and filling. I will eat this for lunch with a piece of fruit. This salad also is nice on a bed of fresh lettuce (ha!).

Chickpea, Feta, & Parsley Salad
Makes 6 cups
Ingredients
1 small red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of red pepper flakes
2-15.5 ounce cans cooked chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed
1 cup parsley, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a sauté pan and cook onion until translucent. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chickpeas, parsley, feta, and lemon juice and 1 teaspoon olive oil to a large bowl. Mix in onions and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately or store for later. This does well in the refrigerator for a few days as it marinates.
