Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/2 small)
2 cans reduced-sodium chickpeas ((15-ounce cans), rinsed and drained)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1 bunch)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 orange bell pepper ( or yellow bell pepper, chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 large seedless cucumber (chopped (about 2 cups))
1/2 cup crumbled feta (about 4 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the onions in a bowl of cool water and let them soak while you prepare the other ingredients (this removes the harsher bite from the onions, while still giving great flavor).
  • Place the chickpeas, parsley, bell peppers, cucumber, and feta in a large serving bowl.
  • In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain the red onions and add them to the chickpea mixture, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine. If time allows, let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or enjoy immediately.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND AVOCADO



Chopped Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Avocado image

Like any good chopped salad, the lettuce here is in equal balance with the other ingredients, making this a great choice for those who are less than enthusiastic about leafy greens. Creamy feta and avocado mingle with briny olives and capers while cucumbers and finely chopped romaine provide crunch. Use this recipe as a template for making the most of ingredients you have on hand; radishes, cherry tomatoes or diced onion would all be welcome here. The same flexibility applies for the croutons: Stale bread works, of course, but even leftover hot dog buns, pita bread or oyster crackers become excellent little croutons when toasted in the oven.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups small (1/2-inch) diced stale bread, buns or pita (about 3 to 4 ounces)
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 romaine heart, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 medium (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and diced
1/2 cup pitted Castelvetrano or other green olives, roughly chopped (about 3 ounces)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon drained capers, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 firm-ripe avocado, halved, pitted and diced
3/4 cup diced or crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, mint or parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced bread on a sheet pan, drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until well toasted. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the romaine pieces in a large mixing bowl, along with the chickpeas, cucumber, olives and scallions.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, capers, shallots, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and whisk well. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten; toss well. Add the avocado, feta and herbs and toss gently, adding more dressing to taste. Top with the croutons and a generous sprinkle of herbs and serve.

CHICKPEA, ARTICHOKE, AND FETA SALAD



Chickpea, Artichoke, and Feta Salad image

A fresh-tasting salad from ingredients that last a long time in the pantry and refrigerator, with a pleasing balance of earthy, sharp, salty, and green. Flat or Italian parsley has a much better flavor than curly, but either will do, and I've used a tablespoon of dried in a pinch.
