Ingredients

Scale
  • One small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp salt, add more to taste.
  • Juice of 2 lemons.
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
  • 1 can mixed beans, drained and rinsed.
  • 1 cup fresh green beans, chopped.
  • 10 jarred artichoke hearts, chopped.
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed coriander/cilantro leaves, chopped finely.
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed mint, chopped finely.

Warm Dressing.

    • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
    • 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced.
    • 3 tsp za’atar.
    • 1 tsp sumac.
    • 1/2 tsp ground cumin.

Instructions

  1. Slice the red onion and add it to a large bowl, with the salt and the juice of one lemon. This helps the onion loose its sharpness.
  2. Chop the green beans and artichoke hearts into 1/2-inch pieces; chop the cilantro; and add to the onions to the bowl.
  3.  Sauté finely minced garlic in olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Remove from the heat and add the mixed beans and chickpeas, along with za’atar, sumac, and cumin.
  4. Mix the sauteed mixture and add it to the remaining ingredients in the large bowl. Add salt and the juice of the second lemon to taste.
  5. Leave in the fridge for up to an hour to let the flavors marinate, but serve at room temperature.
  6. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, if it lasts that long!
  7. Enjoy za’atar mixed bean salad as a light lunch or dinner, in pita bread or with your protein of choice.
