Cucumber & Chickpea Salad

I have so many cucumbers and thought this recipe would be good...it's just ok - I don't think I'll do it again....I've decided I only like chickpeas when they are made into hummus!

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil  (360)
  • 1 (16 ounce) can BUSH’S® Garbanzo Beans, drained (455)
  • ½ cup tomato, chopped (60)
  • ¼ cup red onion, minced (30)
  • 1 rib celery, sliced (10)
  • 1 cucumber, chopped (10)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1½ teaspoons red wine vinegar (2)
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Stir in beans, cover and turn off heat. Set aside.
  2. Gently toss all remaining ingredients in a large salad bowl. Add beans.
  3. Serve topped with additional parsley, if desired.
