Green Bean and Chickpea Salad

Green Bean and Chick Pea Salad
Recipe from Julie Foxworthy

INGREDIENTS
About 4-5 cups of handtrimmed french green beans (haricot vert), steamed but still slightly crisp, you do NOT want mushy beans! YUCK!
1 can chick peas, rinsed and drained
1 can whole plum tomatoes, cut into quarters (minus liquid)
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
1 tsp pepper (more or less to taste)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:

•Steam green beans, until tender, but still maintaining a bit of the snap/crunch
•Once green beans are done cooking, drain and pour them into a bowl of ice water to shock and stop the cooking
•Place green beans into appropriate size serving bowl and add chickpeas, tomatoes, olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper
•Toss lightly with tongs, so everything is combined
•Adjust seasonings if necessary
•Serve with a squeeze of lemon and toasted pita points
•Enjoy!
