Meatless Monday: Chopped Salad

Last Friday I went out with some friends to Beast in Brooklyn, and we had their amazing chopped salad.  I don’t normally like chickpeas, but I figured since I devoured my portion of the salad which was chocked full of chickpeas, this would be a dope addition to my Meatless Mondays.

The salad is pretty easy to make, just chop up your fav veggies, toss em in, add some feta and this vinaigrette.

Salad:

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 bunch arugula
  • feta (as much as you like)

Shallot Vinaigrette:

  • 1 small shallot (if you don’t have one, use a red onion)
  • red wine vinegar
  • olive oil

To make the salad, rise off the chickpeas, and toss them and all your other veggies into a bowl. Toss in some feta and mix.

To make the vinaigrette, heat oil and challot (either in microwave  or low heat on the stove), let this cool.  Add red wine vinegar.

To be honest, when I made this last night I hadn’t found this vinaigrette recipe, I just made my regular vinaigrette of red wine vinegar, oil olive, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Yum.

Enjoy!

Hmm. This sounds pretty good. I think I would like to taste the original first before attempting to make my own.
