MEDITERRANEAN CHOPPED SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND CHICKPEAS
This is a wonderful salad that will become one of your favorites! I like to make a meal out of it. This doesn't call for tomatoes, but you could put them in if you wish, and you can use red onion rather than the sweet onion. I like to use lemon juice with the olive oil occasionally. This is a very refreshing salad, great for before meals, or a quick lunch.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD
This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Steps:
- In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
- Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.
- Chop your vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly and make your salad more visually appealing. If you're using a food processor, pulse the vegetables until they are finely chopped, but not mushy.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through.
- Season your salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve your salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting and the shrimp from getting tough.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean Chopped Salad with Shrimp and Chickpeas is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing salad that's perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with fresh vegetables, protein-rich shrimp and chickpeas, and a flavorful dressing. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
