Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

Ingredientes

A simple red wine vinaigrette with tons of fresh herbs anchors the salad which is made up of chick peas, roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes and red onions that I marinated slightly in red wine vinegar to take the bite out and soften them a bit and it’s all topped with crumbled feta. It’s excellent on its own, with a can of tuna added in or as a side to any protein. Either ways, you’re going to love it.

Mediterranean Chick Pea Salad

1/4 cup red onion, chopped

2 tbls red wine vinegar

1 tbls honey

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley, dill, basil, and mint

4 tbls extra-virgin olive oil (I used the oil from the sun dried tomato jar)

1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes

1/4 cup roasted peppers, chopped

2 15-oz cans chickpeas drained and rinsed

1 small cucumber, chopped

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

In the bottom of a large bowl, add the diced onion and the vinegar and let marinated for 15 minutes. This will soften the onions and take some of the bite away.
