This easy salad takes just minutes to make, but should be chilled for at least 45 minutes for flavors to marry. Great served with grilled meats or chicken.

Provided by Marie

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, dried basil, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Mix together olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season to taste with salt.
  • Drizzle over salad and toss until well combined, and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 45 minutes before serving.
  • Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for this salad. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese adds a salty and tangy flavor to the salad. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
  • Make the salad ahead of time: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors will meld together and the salad will be even more delicious the next day.

Conclusion:

This tomato basil cucumber salad with feta cheese is a refreshing, flavorful, and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer. The combination of sweet tomatoes, tangy feta cheese, and fresh basil is simply delicious. This salad is also a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes from your garden.
