Lebanese Lemon-Parsley Bean Salad and Hummus
A delightfully crunchy and satisfying bean salad bursting with Mediterranean flavors, including lemon, garlic and fresh herbs.

2 cans red kidney beans
1 can chickpeas
1 small red onion
3 stalks celery
1 medium cucumber
¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or mint
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 ½ lemons)
3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
¾ teaspoon salt
Small pinch red pepper flakes
Container of hummus
Pack of pita bread
Instructions
1. Chop everything and rinse all the beans.
2. In a serving bowl, combine the prepared kidney beans, chickpeas, onion, celery, cucumber, parsley and mint.
3. Make the lemon dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper flakes until emulsified. Pour dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly.
