Yield: Serves 10-12

This is a fresh, healthy, year-round addition to a good meal or is a wonderful vegetarian meal by itself.

• 1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 small can sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1 can palm hearts, drained and sliced diagonally
• 2 stalks celery, sliced thin diagonally
• 2 green onions, sliced thin diagonally
• 1 sprig fresh mint, removed leaves and chopped finely
• 1 teaspoon basil, finely chopped or crushed dry
• 1 teaspoon oregano, finely chopped or crushed dry
• 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Place all ingredients into large bowl and toss. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, tossing every 1/2 hour. This salad should be quite tart so add more lemon if needed. Makes great leftovers. Best eaten in 2 or 3 days.
