Servings: 8
Ingredients
dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp marinated sun dried tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- .5 oz basil leaves
- salt to taste
salad
- 15 ounce canned chickpeas, well drained and rinsed*
- 1 cup (heaped) marinated artichoke hearts
- 1/4 small red onion, slivered
- 1 cup assorted olives, sliced or halved
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, julienned
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup diced feta cheese
- 1/4 cup marinated sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup marinated peppers
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
- fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put the dressing ingredients in a small food processor and process until combined but still a little bit chunky. Taste to adjust any of the flavors and set aside.
- Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with enough of the dressing to moisten but not drown the salad.
- Chill the salad until ready to serve. Can be made up to several hours ahead.
Notes
*a thorough rinsing goes a long way toward getting rid of any canned flavor in your beans. Plus it removes some of the excess sodium.
