Layer these tasty chickpea patties over mixed salad greens and drizzle with dressing for a quick Mediterranean lunch or dinner. Serve with pita chips, if desired. Ingredients:
1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided |
1 egg, whisked |
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup low-fat greek-style yogurt |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
8 cups mixed salad greens |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced |
pita chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. Pulse first 4 ingredients (through cumin) and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor until coarsely chopped and mixture comes together. Transfer to a bowl, add egg and 2 tablespoons flour; form into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. Place remaining flour in a small dish and roll patties in it with floured hands; tap off excess flour.
2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden.
3. Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining salt and pepper. Divide greens, tomatoes, onion, and patties evenly among 4 plates; drizzle each salad with 2 tablespoons dressing. Serve with pita chips, if desired.
