Mediterranean Salad image

I love creating salads and this is one of my latest discoveries. It has a lot of traditional mediterranean ingredients and is very healthy for you as well as colourful and easy to make. It serves two as a main dish or more if you're making it as a side to a bigger meal.

Categories     Peppers

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained
1 (400 g) can artichoke hearts, drained
1 small avocado, peeled and sliced
6 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons za'atar spice mix
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Put half the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the sliced peppers for 3-5 minutes until the skins start to blister and the peppers soften.
  • Take off the heat and leave to cool slightly for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the chickpeas, artichoke hearts, avocado and tomatoes in a large bowl.
  • When the peppers have cooled slightly, add them to the other ingredients in the bowl.
  • Sprinkle over the Zaatar seasoning, or make a reasonable substitute by combining thyme, marjoram, and sesame seeds with a bit of salt.
  • Make the dressing by mixing up the other half of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.
  • Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.
  • Serve either at room temperature or chilled.
  • If you are making this ahead of time, leave out the avocados until just before serving or they will discolour.
  • You can also spice up this salad by using a chilli-infused olive oil.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too oily and the vegetables were not very fresh. I would not recommend this salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of random veggies in my fridge and this salad is a great way to use them up. It's also a very healthy and refreshing salad.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good salad.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder dressing. Otherwise, it was a good salad.
