I learned this refreshing salad in a Turkish cooking class. Preparation time does not include optional marinating time, but marinating is recommended for full flavor.

1 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix chickpeas, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt in a shallow baking dish (shallow so that the liquid can soak more of the chickpeas). Set in refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours or overnight. (If not marinating, mix in a bowl.).
  • After marinating, stir chickpeas with all other ingredients (except for feta) in a bowl.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle crumbled feta over the salad.

This salad takes literally 5 minutes to put together, but sure packs a wallop as far as flavor. You may regularly have these ingredients on hand, making this a go-to choice for a side salad or a light lunch. DH adds croutons to his sometimes, sort of like a panzanella!
