Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large English cucumber diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives halved
  • 3 tablespoons Greek Opa Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl For assembling the salad
  • 1 small bowl or measuring cup For whisking the dressing
  • 1 Chef’s knife For chopping vegetables and herbs
  • 1 Cutting board For prep work
  • 1 whisk For emulsifying the dressing

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta, and Kalamata olives.
  2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the Greek Opa Infused Olive Oil Blend, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is lightly coated.
  4. Add the parsley and dill, then toss once more to distribute the herbs without breaking up the feta too much.
  5. Taste and adjust with a little more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
  6. Serve right away, or chill briefly before serving for a cooler, more blended flavor.

Notes

This salad is best when the vegetables are cut into bite-size pieces so every forkful gets chickpeas, cucumber, herbs, and the Greek Opa blend together. If making ahead, keep the dressing separate until just before serving for the freshest texture.
