From Bon Appetit, April 2011. Can easily be tweaked to suit your taste. For a spicy version, add cilantro and red onion or shallots. For curried version, add some curry powder. Very light and refreshing and makes an excellent side dish. Ingredients:

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh italian parsley |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 small garlic clove, pressed |
1/3 cup packed freshly grated parmesan cheese |
coarse kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Combine rinsed and drained chickpeas, chopped basil, chopped Italian parsley, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in medium bowl.
