In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 2 T. oil, beans, cumin, salt, chili flakes and capers; cook for about 5 minutes tossing and turning the beans. Turn heat off; set aside.

On a large serving platter, arrange the greens and basil on opposite ends. Place the cherry tomatoes next to each of the greens. Place the garbanzo beans on the platter. Place the mozzarella in the middle of the platter, with space at the top and bottom for the red onions.

Place the olives on the cheese, beans and tomatoes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; drizzle over the mixture. Serve immediately.
