Chickpea with wilted spinach is a very simple salad but it is full of flavors and colors and very quick to prepare.

Ingredients

1.5 cup of cooked chickpea/garbanzo
2 cups of spinach, chopped
1 small red or yellow onion(about 1/4 cup), finely chopped
1 medium tomato, finely chopped

3/4 tsp of cumin powder
1 Tbsp of lemon juice
1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil(skip if you want oil free salad)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Wash the spinach and drain the water. Do not completely wipe out the water because we need little bit of water to cook the spinach.
In a hot non stick pan, add spinach, salt and pepper and let it wilt over medium heat. It takes about 3-5 minutes.
In a big bowl mix together all ingredients listed above with wilted spinach.
Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and serve. Serve it with baked sweet potatoes chips
