Cilantro Lime Chick Pea Salad This is sitting in the fridge right now getting all lovely and delicious (I also tossed in some chopped bell pepper). The cilantro, lime, garlic and chili dressing is really good too! Now I need something to make with lime, ginger and rice. Hmmm… 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed 4 loosely packed cups fresh spinach 1/2 onion, chopped small juice from 4 limes 1 bunch of cilantro (about loosely packed cup) 3 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated on a microplane 1/2 Tbsp chili powder 1/2 cup olive oil Chop the spinach very finely (feel free to use a food processor and pulse 3-4 times).  Add the chickpeas, onion, and spinach to a large bowl.  In the same food processor add the lime juice, cilantro, sugar, mustard, garlic, chili powder, and olive oil.  Process til it comes together into a dressing, about 30-45 seconds.  Pour over the chickpea mixture and stir to combine.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Let sit for about 10 minutes on the counter or overnight in the fridge to let the flavors marry.  Enjoy!
