MARINATED GREEK-INSPIRED CHICKPEA SALAD
This salad gets even better the longer it marinates in the refrigerator. While it's completely yummy right away, it tastes best after about 8 hours. I made up this salad after having early spring cravings for crunchy, crisp, refreshing summer food. The tangy vinaigrette and the sharp feta cheese balance perfectly with the hearty chickpeas and crunchy, sweet veggies and make for a really vibrant and satisfying salad. It is delicious alongside pickled baby beets or grilled chicken too. You can also put it in a wrap, or you can use it as a dip--sort of like a Greek salsa.

MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SALAD
Marinated, slightly spicy Middle Eastern-style chickpea salad. I bought something like this at a fancy grocery store but peeked at the ingredients and decided I could make it at home. It can be healthy, too, and it's easy to make.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain chickpeas.
- Drain artichoke hearts and cut into smaller pieces.
- Chop onion and bell pepper.
- Whisk together oil, vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, and cayenne.
- Pour dressing over vegetables and stir to coat.
- Allow salad to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
- I do not add salt. Canned vegetables are salty, anyway (which is one reason I rinsed the chickpeas), but since the dressing is vinegar, lemon juice, and cayenne, you really don't need to add any salt.
- You can also use fresh or dried-and-cooked chickpeas instead, of course.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest sturgeon possible. Fresh sturgeon has a firm, springy texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fish that is slimy or has an off odor.
- Marinate the sturgeon for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start.
- Cook the sturgeon gently. Sturgeon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently to avoid overcooking. The best way to cook sturgeon is to pan-fry, bake, or grill it. Avoid boiling or frying the fish, as this will make it tough and dry.
- Serve the sturgeon with a flavorful sauce or condiment. A simple lemon-butter sauce or a spicy tomato salsa are both good options. You can also serve the sturgeon with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Marinated sturgeon with Moroccan chickpea salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The sturgeon is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, and then cooked gently until it is tender and flaky. The Moroccan chickpea salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is made with chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a zesty dressing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
