Guest Blogger Post – Chickpea and Feta Salad
Posted by Aggies Kitchen on February 25th, 2010. Filed under: Appetizers, Beans, Healthy, Vegetarian.
Hey there, Aggie’s Kitchen readers! It’s Molly here, your royal highness from Duchess of Fork. I’m just a busy gal juggling a new husband, new house, new puppy and new career. I enjoy creating quick, yet healthy and delicious recipes that fit into anyone’s lifestyle. Feel free to come over and visit me any time you’d like!
I’m honored to be Aggie’s guest today, and am thrilled to share a fresh take on salsa with you. With Spring just a few weeks away, this chickpea and feta salsa will be a great addition to your outdoor picnics and parties. It’s already in the 60s here in Florida, so I’ve been enjoying this salsa a lot lately! 
Ingredients:
1 (16 oz) can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 green onion, sliced thin
1 cup diced cucumber
½ cup diced bell pepper
½ cup crumbled feta
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
½ tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers and feta.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, oregano, pepper and salt. Pour over chickpea mixture and toss to combine.
Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Makes about 2 cups
This salsa comes together in a flash and will keep in the fridge for about a week. It’s great with whole wheat pita chips, as a salad, or alongside grilled chicken. If you’ve never tried chickpeas before, this is the perfect recipe for you.
Thanks for letting me stop by! Remember, we may not all be royalty, but we can certainly reign supreme in the kitchen.

This salad looks so fresh and light. We’re up to our ears in snow here in upstate NY, but my menu is in FL with you, Molly!

Made this for a party and served it as a sald and it was the first bowl to be emptied. I was worried because I never made it before and I didn’t even taste test it. Anyway, it was loved by all!

Meant to say I served it as a salad and not a salsa.
