Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and minced garlic until well blended. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, black olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and capers. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

04

Step

Serve immediately or chill for later. If serving chilled, allow the salad to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with dolmas, if desired. (Estimated time: variable)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
If you don't have marinated artichoke hearts, you can use plain artichoke hearts and marinate them yourself with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will actually improve as it sits!
Feel free to customize this salad with your favorite Mediterranean ingredients, such as sun-dried tomatoes, cucumbers, or Kalamata olives.
