Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, sliced
2 bunches hearty greens, such as collard greens and/or Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves sliced
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder, divided
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 (1/2-lb.) block Greek or Bulgarian feta, sliced 1/2" thick
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Toasted country-style bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heatproof skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add greens in handfuls, letting wilt before adding another handful, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp. curry powder; season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Lay feta over greens and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until feta is soft, 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper, and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp around the edges, 8-10 minutes. Add remaining 1 tsp. curry powder and toss to combine.
  • Stir yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt.
  • Scatter chickpeas and toasted garlic over greens and feta. Dollop with seasoned yogurt. Serve with toast alongside.

TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL



Tomato-Green Bean Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Dill image

This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 pound green beans, preferably slender haricots verts, trimmed
2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 small lemon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, mixed colors, halved

4 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 to 3 tablespoons roughly chopped dill, for serving
Pinch of dried oregano, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt, then the green beans. Cook until beans are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer beans to a large bowl of cold water. Drain in a colander and blot green beans dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, put lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste. Whisk in olive oil.
  • Make the salad: Add cherry tomatoes, green beans and chickpeas to a large salad bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Add dressing and toss to coat. Add feta and toss once more. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • To serve, sprinkle generously with dill and oregano.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND AVOCADO



Chopped Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Avocado image

Like any good chopped salad, the lettuce here is in equal balance with the other ingredients, making this a great choice for those who are less than enthusiastic about leafy greens. Creamy feta and avocado mingle with briny olives and capers while cucumbers and finely chopped romaine provide crunch. Use this recipe as a template for making the most of ingredients you have on hand; radishes, cherry tomatoes or diced onion would all be welcome here. The same flexibility applies for the croutons: Stale bread works, of course, but even leftover hot dog buns, pita bread or oyster crackers become excellent little croutons when toasted in the oven.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups small (1/2-inch) diced stale bread, buns or pita (about 3 to 4 ounces)
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 romaine heart, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 medium (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and diced
1/2 cup pitted Castelvetrano or other green olives, roughly chopped (about 3 ounces)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon drained capers, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 firm-ripe avocado, halved, pitted and diced
3/4 cup diced or crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, mint or parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced bread on a sheet pan, drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until well toasted. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the romaine pieces in a large mixing bowl, along with the chickpeas, cucumber, olives and scallions.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, capers, shallots, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and whisk well. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten; toss well. Add the avocado, feta and herbs and toss gently, adding more dressing to taste. Top with the croutons and a generous sprinkle of herbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas: They should be cooked until tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a variety of greens: This will add flavor and texture to your salad.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings: There are many delicious dressings that can be used with this salad, so feel free to try different ones until you find one that you like.
