CHICKPEA, ARTICHOKE, AND FETA SALAD
A fresh-tasting salad from ingredients that last a long time in the pantry and refrigerator, with a pleasing balance of earthy, sharp, salty, and green. Flat or Italian parsley has a much better flavor than curly, but either will do, and I've used a tablespoon of dried in a pinch.

CHICKPEA & FETA SALAD
I love Mediterranean food and this fresh, colorful salad displays the best of that cuisine-feta cheese, crisp vegetables and a nice lemony flavor. Though wonderful any time of the year, I especially enjoy serving this in the spring.-Paula Althouse, Hamburg, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- To make the chickpeas:
- Place the chickpeas, salt, and water in the inner pot. Close and lock the lid. Set the valve to Sealing. Press Manual or Pressure Cook and use the Pressure or Pressure Level button to select High Pressure. Use the - or + button to set the time to 35 minutes.
- When the cooking cycle ends, press Cancel. Allow the appliance to cool and release pressure naturally, about 25 minutes. (The pressure is released when the small metal float valve next to the pressure-release valve sinks back into the lid and the lid is no longer locked.)
- Remove the lid. Wearing oven mitts, remove the inner pot (be careful-it's hot!) and drain the chickpeas through a colander.
- Chickpeas will keep, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
- For the salad:
- Make the dressing: Place the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a Mason jar with a lid (or an airtight container) and shake to combine.
- Place the cucumber, feta, chickpeas, and dill in a large bowl and toss to combine. Pour the dressing over the salad and then toss the salad to distribute the dressing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
- Do Ahead
- Chickpeas with Lemon, Feta, and Fresh Dill will keep, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days. Serve leftovers chilled.
- Other Serving Suggestions:
- Make them crispy and crunchy: Toss cooked chickpeas with olive oil, salt, and pepper. (Add garlic powder, ground cumin, or curry powder for a twist.) Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated 450°F oven, shaking the pan occasionally, until browned, about 30 minutes.
- Red Pepper Chickpeas: Toss cooked chickpeas with chopped red bell pepper, olive oil, and salt and pepper for a brightly colored, fresh-tasting salad.
- Chicken Chickpea Pizza: Place equal parts lightly mashed cooked chickpeas and whole chickpeas on a raw pizza crust, drizzled generously with extra-virgin olive oil, and bake the pizza as normal. Just before the pizza is finished. Remove it from the oven and top with diced cooked chicken breast and crumbled feta cheese and then cook until the chicken and feta are warm.
- Chickpea Salad Spread: Coarsely mash cooked chickpeas with mayonnaise and diced celery. Use as a stand-in for tuna in a sandwich.
- Greek-Salad Chickpeas: Tossed with olive oil and lemon juice, cooked chickpeas can be tucked into a pita with Greek yogurt, chopped tomatoes, and fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley. Sprinkle with ground cumin or smoked paprika.

Steps:
- Wash your cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut each half again lengthwise and then cut into small pieces.
- Place in a salad bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add dill weed.
- Dice Feta finely or crumble over salad.
- Now add the hummus (store bought or homemade). Mix well to coat everything.
- If you like add other add-ins of your choice, such as whole chickpeas or olives.
- Enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm chickpeas: Fresh chickpeas have a slightly sweet flavor and a creamy texture. Avoid chickpeas that are shriveled or have blemishes.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: Soaking the chickpeas helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, or any other vegetables that you like.
- Don't overcook the chickpeas: Overcooked chickpeas will be mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a salty, tangy cheese that adds a lot of flavor to this salad. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a combination of sheep's milk and goat's milk.
- Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard is the perfect way to dress this salad. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to the vinaigrette.
Conclusion:
This chickpea feta salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. The combination of chickpeas, feta cheese, and vegetables makes this salad a flavorful and satisfying meal.
