Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup macaroni
  • 1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
  • 4 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup pitted black olives
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Rinse under cold water to chill, and drain.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, garlic, feta cheese, olives, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside to marinate while the pasta is cooking.
  3. Mix macaroni with chickpea mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.
