Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Chickpea Salad with Feta.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and gently combine your drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and freshly shredded basil leaves.
Step 2
This colorful mix is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients! Next, take a small glass bowl and warm some honey in the microwave for about 30 seconds; this little trick makes it easier to blend into your dressing.
Step 3
Once warmed, add in minced garlic, red wine vinegar, cider vinegar, olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper for a kick, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Whisk everything together until itโs beautifully combined and fragrant.
Step 5
Now, pour this delightful dressing over your chickpea mixture and toss gently to ensure every ingredient is coated in that tasty goodness.
Step 6
To let the flavors mingle and develop, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Step 7
This step is key, as it allows the ingredients to harmonize, creating a dish thatโs bursting with flavor.
Step 8
Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing salad!.
