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! Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
15 grape tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup red onion (about 1/4 of an onion, can use any sweet variety) |
2 ounces feta cheese, cut in cubes |
10 kalamata olives, cut in half if pitted |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon dried mint |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine salad ingredients (don't even stir them up yet if you don't want to).
2. Use a small glass jar with a tight fitting lid, and combine all the dressing ingredients: shake and pour over salad in bowl.
3. Toss to combine.
