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.

Great recipe! Next time I make it, though, I will reduce the amt. of salt (was a little salty), and add some chopped cucumber. I cut the black olives in half. I'll definitely make this again!

Very tasty. I only added 1/2 of an onion and it was plenty and probably only 1/4 cup of olive oil. What a great combination with plenty of healthy ingredients.

Very easy to make. I didn't follow the receipe exactly as I couldn't have it right in front of me. Biggest tip, don't forget to chill, I didn't (in a hurry with a hungry kid at my feet) and the flavours didn't have time to mix until I was almost finished eating it. I skipped the olives(I hate them) and garlic(forgot to get at the grocery store) and still was good.
