Greek Chickpea Salad (Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 2 cans chickpeas (approx. 30 oz total)
  • 2 cups chopped bell pepper (sweet mini peppers work too)
  • 1 cup chopped tomato
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 avocado (plus extra to taste)
  • optional extra: crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

  • 2.5 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • 3 TBSP quality extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
  • 3 tsp lemon juice (squeezed from 1 large or two small lemon)
  • 1/2-1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2-1 tsp parsley plus extra to garnish
  • ½ tsp dried crushed oregano
  • ½ tsp salt (plus extra as desired)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp dried dill

Instructions

  • 1.  Drain and rinse chickpeas.


  • 2. Chop your peppers, tomato, and cucumber, and toss them in a bowl.


  • 3. Combine all dressing ingredients in a separate container and either shake or whisk to incorporate. Pour over salad and toss to combine. 


  • 4. Pop the bowl in the fridge, covered, for a few hours to let the fabulous flavors of the marinade get better acquainted with your veggies or enjoy right away.


  • 5. Peel and chop avocado just before serving, and add to the salad. I like to toss my avocado in a little lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from browning.

Enjoy!
