CHOPPED SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND AVOCADO
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.

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 all the difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces. This will help them cook evenly and make the salad easier to eat.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- Use a light hand with the dressing. You want to enhance the flavor of the vegetables, not drown them.
- Add some fresh herbs or spices to brighten up the salad. This will give it a nice pop of flavor.
Conclusion:
Chopped salad with feta cheese is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
