Chopped Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
This chopped mediterranean chickpea salad is my take on the ~making food on your cutting board~ trend that’s currently going on & it’s worth the hype tbh!! minimal dishes required AND no baking 👏🫡🫶
What you need

tsp crushed red pepper

tsp garlic powder
tsp dried basil
tsp dried oregano
tsp ground black pepper
tsp salt

lemon
cup red wine vinegar

cup extra-virgin olive oil

oz fresh mozzarella

oz chickpea

oz kalamata olive

oz artichoke hearts

red bell pepper
cucumber
Instructions
Clear off a large cutting board and add the cucumber, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and olives to the center. Use a chef’s knife to carefully chop the ingredients into small pieces, switching directions to get evenly sized tiny pieces (you can also individually chop each ingredient if preferred). Once there are no big pieces left, add all of the vegetables to a large mixing bowl along with the chickpeas and mozzarella cheese. Toss to combine, then add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and all spices. Add in the basil leaves. Toss again to fully coat. Transfer the salad in four even serving to airtight containers and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to marinate. There will be liquid at the bottom on the mixing bowl/containers which is normal but feel free to disregard any excessive liquid.View original recipe
