This recipe for Marinated Chickpea Chopped Salad is a perfect main course or summer side dish full of marinated chickpeas, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, salami, and feta cheese.
Today I am sharing Marinated Chickpea Chopped Salad with you, finally! I have been making this salad for my family for a couple years now and never thought to share it with you until now apparently.
This salad is perfect as a full meal on a hot day when you don’t really feel like cooking or an easy perfect side dish that would pretty much go with everything. I personally think it is perfect with grilled chicken.
And it couldn’t be easier to make. A simple dressing is made with red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, thyme, and mustard. Then chickpeas, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, salami, and feta are tossed in the dressing and set in the fridge to marinate.
Once marinated the mixture is then tossed with romaine and it is ready to serve.
So whether you are looking for an easy summer dinner or a delicious side salad, this Marinated Chickpea Chopped Salad is sure to delight you and your family!
TIPS & TRICKS:
- This salad is perfect for a picnic, just keep the lettuce & marinated mixture separate until its time to eat
- If you don’t plan on eating the whole salad and want to save some of it for later, only mix half of the lettuce and half marinated mixture together, and save the rest to toss together for later
