Zucchini And Chickpea Salad
INGREDIENT
3 medium zucchini
5 tbsp white vinegar
garlic...or...sigh...to taste
thyme, to taste
1/2 cup good olive oil
1 cup chickpeas, (aka garbanzos)
olives, sliced or whole,
green or black or both as you prefe
3 scallions, chopped
1 canned chipotle chili pepper in adobo, drained, seeded, min
sauce
1 ripe avocado
feta cheese or FRESHLY GRATED Roman
Parmesan cheese
1 head Boston (aka Cobb ) lettuce, rinsed and patted
dry
sliced tomatoes
cilantro leaves if desired
make the dressing by combining the vinegar, garlic, thyme and olive oil.
now the zucchini is really best if it is pre-treated. So peel, cut
lengthwise and then cut into skinny slices, placed in a bowl and sprinkled
with salt. Toss to mix, then spread it out on a kitchen towel, which is
what I use since I will not waste my money on paper towels, made for the
sole purpose of being thrown away. Let the squash stand at room temp for
30
minutes to drain.
Or you can skip that step as i have on occasion and toss it in with the
dressing, chickpeas, olives, onions, toss lightly, cover and let it
refrigerate at least 30 minutes to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add chili to salad just before serving. peel, pit and cut the avocado into
cubes or however you like it. Tos lightly to mix.
Serve on lettuce lined plated or bowl or whatever.
Can easily make this into a hot day meal by making a bigger salad and
adding more cheese. Great with bread. I use whatever cheese I have.

Diet tips
If you enjoy your food, but need to become thinner and increase your overall vitality, among other things you should undertake a precisely planned wholesome weight loss program. If possible, this should contain 5 portions of fruit/vegetables per day and take in a sensible proportion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
People starting a weight loss program ordinarily direct their attention to retail store and well known food items labelled as 'low-fat'. This is ordinarily foolish, given that a food might just be very low in fats, but nevertheless high in carbohydrates and calories.
When planning a weight loss system, the important thing is to try to break down intake of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
