Mediterranean Salad With Chickpea Patties

Ingredients

1 

15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed

1/2 

cup 

fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 

clove garlic, chopped

1/4 

teaspoon 

ground cumin

kosher salt and black pepper

2 

tablespoons 

all-purpose flour

2 

tablespoons 

olive oil

1/2 

cup 

low-fat yogurt (preferably Greek)

3 

tablespoons 

fresh lemon juice

8 

cups 

mixed greens

1 

cup 

grape tomatoes

1/2 

small red onion, thinly sliced

pita chips (optional)

Directions

1. In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper until coarsely chopped and the mixture comes together when gently squeezed.
2. Form the mixture into eight ½-inch-thick patties and coat with the flour, tapping off any excess.
3. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, turning carefully, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
5. Divide the greens, tomatoes, onion, and chickpea patties among plates. Drizzle with the dressing and serve with the pita chips (if using).
