Middle East Salad - Regional Recipes

Joanne from Eats Well With Others is now hosting Regional Recipes! Go to This Post for details if you'd like to play along and then watch for the Joanne's Regional Recipes Round Up post on February 28th. This month the theme Is Middle Eastern Foods.

Mmmm, Middle Eastern foods are one of my favorites! I regularly make my own hummus, tabbouleh and falafel, but I thought those would probably be common recipes submitted for this theme. Instead I've chosen this super simple dish that I've previously posted on my other blogs. It is so yummy, I couldn't pass it by for Regional Recipes this month.

I know it sounds a little odd but I promise, it's absolutely delicious! It's the perfect combination of all different colors, textures and flavors - it's like a party in a bowl!

Just combine a can of rinsed chickpeas, about a cup of edamame beans, 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Drizzle with olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper. Toss and refrigerate until chilled. That's it, enjoy!
