Greek Salad with Chickpeas

Ingredients

  • 3 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 cucumber, halved and sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green pepper, sliced
  • 100g Kalamata olives
  • 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained
  • 150g good-quality feta, broken into chunks
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, pepper, olives and chickpeas in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar and oregano. Season well.
  3. Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  4. Top with feta chunks and a final drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Leave to sit for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavours develop.

Tips

Best made 30 minutes ahead so the tomatoes release their juice into the dressing. Serve with warm pitta or crusty bread.
