Chick pea salad with marinated artichokes and plump sun dried tomatoes in a vinaigrette made with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.
There was a time when I refused to eat any beans at all. But as I got older, and wanted to add some variety into our diet so I slowly started to introduce them into our meals.
I guess they're right when they say your taste buds change every so many years because now, I LOVE chick peas.
If eaten alone, yes, they can taste a little bland. But add some of my favorite Mediterranean flavors like and you have a zesty, new salad that can be eaten alone or served as a side dish; like this Chick Pea Salad with Artichoke Hearts and Sun Dried Tomatoes.
This Chick Pea Salad with Artichoke Hearts and Sun Dried Tomato Salad was delicious and very filling.
I ate it for lunch for several days and the longer it sat, the more lemony it became. The family loved it too and over the years it's become a reader favorite as well. ~Enjoy!

Hi! This looks delicious! Is the serving for 4 people as a meal, or as a side dish? I'm having 20 people over and want to make this as a side. Thanks!

This is a side salad so if this is going to be your only side, I'd either triple or quadruple the recipe for 20 people. I hope you like it!

We made this for a potluck dinner and it was very good! The fresh chopped parsley really brought it to a whole other level!
I made a couple alterations just for fun: I used oil packed sun dried tomatoes and used 1 tbs of that flavored olive oil instead of plain. I also used a little less lemon and added a touch of honey.
I will be making this again. Thank you for the recipe!
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Vanessa! I bet the added flavors of the oils made it even better.
