| 1/2 c home-cooked chickpeas | ||
| 6 | Scallions, trimmed and | |
| Finely sliced | ||

| One lemon] | ||
| ¾ | To 1 tsp salt | |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Finely ground black pepper |
| 2 | tablespoons | Minced Chinese (or other) |

| Green pepper), minced [I | ||

Directions
Pour contents of chickpea cans or home-cooked chickpeas into a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Drain, discarding liquid. [You can skip this step if you've just cooked your chickpeas].
Now that summer's heat is keeping our range-top and oven use to a minimum, I thought you might enjoy this salad from Madhur Jaffrey's _World of the East Vegetarian Cooking_. It sounds spicier than it really is.
In a serving bowl, combine chickpeas with the other ingredients. Mix well and set aside, unrefrigerated, for 1 hour. Mix again. Serve cold or at room temperature.
