Slice, Chop, Drizzle & Toss Salad – Or Tomato, Chickpea & Feta Salad

During late summer when tomatoes are in season, this seven-minute salad can often works as both lunch and dinner. It’s packed with flavour, colour and crunch, and doesn’t involve any cooking – just a little slicing, chopping, drizzling and tossing.

1 large shallot, thinly sliced

1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
300g of mixed tomatoes, smaller ones halved & larger ones sliced

150g of feta, chopped into 2 cm cubes
Bunch of fresh mint, roughly chopped – plus extra to serve
1 x 400g tin of chickpeas (garbanzos), drained & rinsed
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of za’atar
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
Step 1

Place the shallot in a salad bowl with the garlic and balsamic vinegar and stir
to combine.

Step 3

Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Not dinner enough? If you want this to be even more satiating, you can swap the chickpeas for pearl couscous, quinoa or rice.

Make it vegan: Swap the feta for a vegan version. We have a friend who has started a vegan cheese company called Stockeld Dreamery, and they do an amazing vegan feta that works brilliantly here.
