Chickpea and green bean salad

2 c  Chickpeas -- cooked
    1/2 lb Green Beans
           -Dressing For Chickpeas-----
    1/3 c  Oil
    1/4 c  Wine Vinegar
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Garam Masala
      2    Cloves garlic -- crushed
    1/8 ts Cayenne
           -Dressing For Beans-----
    1/4 c  Oil
      2 tb Lemon Juice
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Garam Masala
      2 tb Onion -- minced
      1 ts 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 3/4-inch 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.
