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.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (garbanzo beans)
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained and diced
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 scallions, finely sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 -2 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
2 teaspoons za'atar spice mix (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place chickpeas, artichoke hearts, red peppers, olives, feta, scallions, and parsley into a salad bowl and toss lightly.
  • In another small bowl, mix together vinegar, mint, z'atar (if using), sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Slowly add olive oil, whisking to blend.
  • Add dressing to salad and stir well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight (best), to blend flavors.
  • Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Use fresh chickpeas, artichokes, and feta cheese. If you can, buy organic produce to minimize exposure to pesticides.
  • Cook the chickpeas properly: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked chickpeas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Marinate the artichokes: Marinating the artichokes in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs will help to soften them and add flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk and has a creamy texture.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The chickpeas and artichokes will start to lose their texture and flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This chickpea, artichoke, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. The salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and potassium. If you are looking for a tasty and nutritious salad, this recipe is a great option.
