Directions
1 1/2-2 lbs. spinach, tough stems removed or substitute swiss chard
1 1/2 C chickpeas (1 can, rinsed and drained)
1 small red onion, halved and sliced
3 T olive oil
1 1/2 T red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
salt & pepper to taste
Bring large pot of water to a boil. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 30-60 seconds. If using chard, boil stems 2 minutes, then add leaves for 1 more minute. Rinse with cool water, then drain well. Press out excess moisture. Chop spinach. Combine spinach, chickpeas, and onion in a large bowl. Toss to mix.
Whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, salt & pepper in a small bowl. Pour over spinach mixture and toss to mix well. Adjust seasoning and serve (tastes even better the second day!)
