Chimichurri Chickpeas
- For the chimichurri:
- 1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup packed mint
- 1/2 cup packed cilantro
- 1 serrano or other hot green chile
- Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sherry or white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- For the salad:
- two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Toasted or grilled bread and Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)
- To make the chimichurri, combine all the ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Process until everything is roughly chopped.
- Gradually stream in the olive oil, mixing until you have a well-blended sauce. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice levels.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with the chimichurri (start with only part of it, then add more to your liking). Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve over toasted or grilled bread spread with plain Greek yogurt, or mix it with cooked grains, or pile it alongside broiled fish or roasted vegetables.
