Chick Pea Salad with Mint and Tomato

This is a great side dish for grilled veggies, fish or meats.
1 can chick peas, rinsed and drained
1 fresh ripe tomato, diced
Palmful fresh mint, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced through garlic press
1-2 green onions, chopped

Dressing:
Juice of lime
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
dash salt and pepper

Whisk the dressing together. Toss the other ingredients in a bowl and mix with the dressing. This is best if left to marinate for an hour or two.

Serves 4 as a side dish.

Cook's Note: Grill up some eggplants, zucchini or peppers, or your favorite veggies.
Pile them high on a plate with some olive oil, mint and yogurt.  Serve this on the side and you have a great summer vegetarian dinner - fast.  And don't forget to toast up the naan or pitas on the grill too!
