• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 4 cups arugula
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Prick sausages with fork to allow excess fat to drip. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add chickpeas, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
3. Transfer chickpea mixture to a large bowl. Add bell peppers, tomatoes, arugula, parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and lemon juice, and toss to combine.
4. Divide grilled sausages among 4 plates, and top with chickpea salad.
