Recipe: Fresh Purple Beauty Pepper and Chickpea Salad

Enjoy the crunch and rich purple skin of freshly harvested Purple Beauty bell peppers in a bright lemon-parsley salad. This recipe uses harvested peppers, not the planting seeds in this packet.

Servings: 4 side servings. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: None. Optional chilling: 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 medium harvested Purple Beauty bell peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
• 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Wash peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley under running water before cutting. Remove pepper stems, seeds, and ribs, leaving the colorful skin on.
2. Combine chopped peppers, drained chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and parsley in a large bowl.
3. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until blended.
4. Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
5. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend.

Serving Options and Storage

Serve alongside grilled food, spoon into pita bread, or add cooked, cooled quinoa for a heartier salad. Add crumbled feta if desired. Refrigerate in a covered container within 2 hours and use within 3 days. For the crispest make-ahead salad, store the dressing separately until ready to serve.
