2 15 ounce canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
5 ounces baby arugula
3/4 cup red onion (diced)
2 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano (shaved from block)
1/4 cup parsley (minced)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemon (juiced and zested)
1 clove garlic (grated)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  • In a large bowl combine the chickpeas, arugula, red onion, and parsley.
  • Whisk together the vinaigrette and pour over the salad. Mix well. Taste test, and if required add more salt and pepper.
  • Right before serving mix the salad one more time and lay it out on a large platter. Shave a hefty amount of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese all over the salad. A vegetable peeler is a great tool for shaving the cheese. Enjoy!
