Mediterranean Feta Salad Recipes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 - 5 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup feta or goat cheese
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• pepper and salt, to taste

Steps:

1. Chop and combine vegetables in a large bowl with the feta cheese. Add drained and rinsed beans to the mixture and mix well.
2. Combine lemon juice (about 1/4 cup) and olive oil. Use a fork or whisk to mix together, then add to salad. Add pepper, salt and lemon zest as you wish.

This salad is better after a few hours and keeps well. Feel free to substitute different types of beans, cheese or herbs for variations on the salad. Parmesan, oregano and tomato would be delicious.
