Mediterranian Chickpea Salad
Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD:
·
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
FOR THE DRESSING:
·
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
Instructions
1.
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).
2.
Place
the chickpeas, parsley, bell peppers, cucumber, and feta in a large serving
bowl.
3.
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.
