I wanted a nice light and healthy salad to go with the spicy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes I prepare, and this one fits the bill. Plus, it’s easy to grow some of the ingredients yourself.—Victor Finger, Sunbury, Ohio
Ingredients:
2 romaine hearts, torn
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, mint, sorrel and/or lemon balm
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup canned garbanzo beans or chickpeas
3 tablespoons pistachios
3 lemon wedges
Directions:
1. Place romaine in a large bowl; drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
2. Add herbs and onions; toss to combine. Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg and pepper; add to romaine mixture and toss to coat.
3. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with garbanzo beans and pistachios. Squeeze lemon wedges over the top. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
