Recipe - Chickpea And Green Bean Salad

2 cup Chickpeas cooked
One half pound Green Beans
Dressing For Chickpeas
1/3 cup Oil
One fourth cup Wine Vinegar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
2 Cloves Garlic crushed
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne
Dressing For Beans
One fourth cup Oil
2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Garam Masala
2 tablespoon Onion minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger Root grated

Heat chickpeas in their liquid and drain. Place in a bowl. Combine all
ingredients for chickpea dressing and pour over chickpeas while they are
still warm. Mix well. Cool, cover and set aside. Combine all ingredients
for green bean dressing. Wash and trim beans, and cut into 3/4inch long
pieces. Steam or boil beans until just tender. Drain thoroughly. Shake them
in a colander until they look very dry. Put beans in a separate bowl from
chickpeas and pour bean dressing over them. Let sit for 5 minutes. Combine
the two beans and mix well. It's best to let the chickpeas sit in their
dressing for several hours before mixing them with the green beans so the
chickpeas can absorb the flavors. Serve cold or at room temperature.
