Ingredients
For the Salad
- 8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 ½ cups English cucumber, chopped
- 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, halved
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ⅓ cup red onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
For the Dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
To Make the Dressing
- Add all the dressing ingredients into the cup of a bullet blender or immersion blender.
- Blend until well combined and emulsified.
- Alternatively, you can add everything except the olive oil to a small mixing bowl, then slowly whisk in the olive oil. Set the dressing aside while you assemble the salad.
To Make the Salad
- Wash, dry and chop the romaine lettuce. I like to use a salad spinner to make it easier. Spread the lettuce out onto a platter.
- Down the center, add the chopped cucumbers and chickpeas.
- Add the orange bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes on either side.
- Add the diced red onion, cubed feta cheese and halved Kalamata olives on the sides. Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the top.
- Pour the dressing over the top. You can either serve the salad as is, or toss it first.
