GREEK-STYLE CHICKPEA SALAD

Greek-Style Chickpea Salad image

This is a light, healthy, and refreshing salad! I found this gem in the Cook's Illustrated "The Best Light Recipe" book and I have made it many times since. Basically you are just chopping things up and throwing them together in a bowl so even the kids can help with this one. Very tasty, and excellent served over a bed of greens and herb garlic pita chips. I've tweaked it ever so slightly. This salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Season with additional lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oil as needed before serving. Very easy clean up, and your salad is ready in less than 20 minutes.

GREEK-STYLE BULGUR SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND OLIVES

Greek-Style Bulgur Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Olives image

From "The PDQ Vegetarian Cookbook" by Donna Klein. The olives and feta are essential in this recipe as they give it the "kick". I made the recipe using feta but it can be made vegan by replacing the feta with 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts. The bulgar didn't completely cook for me at first and I had to place the whole pot over low heat - I think it was a little overcooked in the end. I used vegetable broth and the only bulgur I could find - I believe it was medium - which may have resulted in the cooking problem. I also used a 19 oz can of chickpeas, as that was what I had on hand.

Yield 4 main-dish servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth or 3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons low sodium vegetable broth or 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup Bulgar wheat (fine grain, fancy)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
12 kalamata olives, pitted
1/2-3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (2-3 ounces)

Steps:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the broth, lemon juice, onion powder, and garlic powder barely to a simmer. Remove from heat and let cool five minutes.
Add the bulgur, stirring well to combine. Let stand until the bulgur has absorbed all the liquid and feels dry, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper.
Add the chickpeas, olives and cheese, tossing well to combine.
Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours or up to 2 days and serve chilled or at room temperature.

GREEK-STYLE CHICKPEA SALAD

Greek-Style Chickpea Salad image

As the Summer of Death and Bizarre Weather comes to a close, so does Healthy and Delicious' occasional series on mayo-less salads. Our fourth and final recipe is Greek-Style Chickpea Salad from Cook's Illustrated Best Light Recipe. A chickpea-based concoction, it relies on cucumber for freshness, onion for zest, and a smattering of feta cheese for tang (or, as some are wont to call it, "feta-ey-ness"). Everything balances perfectly with the dressing. Too often, grain and bean salads are over-dressed, leaving the contents to stew in a pool of flavored grease. It's not good for healthy eating or the texture of the food. This dish bucks that trend by using just the right ratio of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olives, and olive oil. It clings lightly to the chickpeas instead of drenching them. And whether you're concerned about weight or leaky Tupperware at your Labor Day picnic, this is undoubtedly a good thing. Oh, and it's delicious, too, as Cook's Illustrated recipes tend to be. The Best Light Recipe tome is quickly becoming an all-star of my cookbook collection, joining the ranks of their Best 30-Minute Recipe book and Christopher Kimball's The Cook's Bible. All are highly suggested reading. Enjoy the end of your mayo-less summers. See you in the mayo-less autumn.
