1 roasted red pepper, chopped |

2 tablespoons chopped parsley |
2 cloves garlic, chopped |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |

2. FOR A VARIATION: Mediterranean Chickpea Salad WIth Feta: A bit of feta cheese adds a pleasantly tangy, creamy note to this salad. Crumble 6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) feta cheese over the salad. It will increase the fat only slightly, to about 4 grams per serving.
