Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups cooked chick peas

4 ounces fresh mozzarella* -- finely diced

6 ounces jarred roasted peppers with liquid -- up to 8 ounces

cut into strips

1 small zucchini -- very thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons wine vinegar -- to taste, up to 3

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

 

*For a dairy-free alternative, use an equal amount of diced, very fresh tofu.

 

6 servings

 

Serve this hearty salad on its own as a first course. I've recommended

replacing the fresh mozzarella with tofu for those on a dairy-free diet.

 

Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl and mix well. Let stand at

room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
