Smoky Chickpea Salad

-LW

By now it should be clear that I have an abiding love for chickpeas and smoked paprika This is basically a cold, easier version of the hot spinach and chickpeas tapas dish already on this site.

I created this on my sixth week abroad when I was desparate for some non-restaurant food but didn't dirty a lot of dishes in my airbnb host's kitchen or buy lots of ingredients that would go to waste. Fortunately, my host was a former chef who stocks things like smoked paprika and Wustof knives, which made my challenge immensely easier!

Ingredients
One can chickpeas, drained

One green onion, sliced thinly

1 t. olive oil

1 t. lemon juice

A dash of smoked paprika

Salt

Pepper

Fresh spinach

Sliced salami or other cooked, cured meat (optional)

Directions
Whisk olive oil and lemon juice together in the bottom of a bowl. Add chickpeas, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Add sliced salami if desired.

Dump on top of spinach and eat.
