Cumin and Coriander Chickpea Salad

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 (19 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. In a bowl, crush together the garlic and salt. To prepare the dressing, mix in olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, ginger, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together the garbanzo beans, yellow bell peppers, scallions, and cilantro. Mix in the dressing. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight. It still tastes good if you eat it right away though.
