  • 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives, parsley, or green onions
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce (see note)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salad:
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas/Garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced in half

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F / 218°C.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and then with the paprika, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven, shaking the pan a few times during cooking, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  4. Next, blend together all of the dressing ingredients until very smooth. Taste the dressing and season with some more salt, if needed.
  5. Assemble the salads by making a bed of lettuce in serving bowls. Top the lettuce with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, crumbled feta, and red onions. Scatter the warm chickpeas over top.
  6. Add dressing until the salad is dressed to your liking. Enjoy!

Notes

Extra Dressing – You may not need all of the dressing for this salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and use it on sandwiches or as a dip for vegetables or pita chips. 
 
Worcestershire Sauce – Most worcestershire sauce contains anchovies, so if fish is not in your diet, skip it or use soy sauce or Tamari instead to give the sauce a hint of savory umami flavor.
