Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

February 20, 2015 By Aubrie Cornelius

It’s 1 degree outside, guys. ONE!

Mediterranean Chickpea SaladSchool has been cancelled for the third time this week (let’s be real, I’m loving it) and I am counting down the days until spring! Honestly, while I love the crisp air of winter and the look of fresh fallen snow, I can’t wait for some greenery! The cherry blossom festival here in DC is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen (If you’ve never heard of it, here is the official website), and it can’t come soon enough!

Mediterranean Chickpea SaladTo help inspire thoughts of warmer temps (if you are currently living in above 40 degree weather, know that I am extremely envious!), I thought I would share this bright and zesty chickpea salad! It’s is thrown together in about 15 minutes which, makes it perfect for a weekday lunch/dinner, and besides it just looks bright and healthy. Something I really need in this drab February weather.

Mediterranean Chickpea SaladWhat makes this chickpea salad so amazing is the lemon/oil vinaigrette and the rich feta. That in combination with the chickpeas, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and tomatoes brings this salad a wonderful complexity which will makes you want to eat it by the spoonful. Trust me, I did!

Mediterranean Chickpea SaladAnd, as you probably noticed, my favorite way to eat this is spooned into a soft pocket pita drizzled with rich tahini. Ugh! So good!

Now, stay warm! I’m sending warm thoughts your way!
