Martha Stewart Everyday Food, March 2011
Source: Debbie @ Mountain Breaths
Adapted by There's Always Thyme to Cook
hummus:
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
extra-virgin olive oil
small clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
or you can use store bought hummus
1/2 of a small red onion
Greek salad dressing, or use red wine vinegar, oil, and any herbs you like
coarse salt
ground pepper
3 oz. crumbled feta
8 slices rustic bread or pita's
1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tomato, thinly sliced
chopped kalamata olives
In a food processor pulse the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Or cheat and use store bought hummus!
In a small bowl, toss the red onion with enough dressing until it's all coated. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mash the feta with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Brush all slices of bread with the dressing. On 4 of the slices, spread chickpea mixture. Top with the cucumber, tomato and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the feta mixture on the remaining 4 slices of bread and place on top of the sandwiches.

This is our kind of Salad too. The only problem is that we find it very difficult to get the feta cheese where we live.
ReplyDeleteThat's my kind of sandwich!Absolutely tasteful,Carol!Is it possible not to LOVE feta cheese???I couldn't do without it!And I am really glad that this greek cheese has become so popular all over the world!
ReplyDeleteThere is a problem though!When I lived in Germany for six months, I had once bought a cheese called feta but it had definitely nothing to do with the real feta!So you have to be careful when you buy it!Feta is a protected designation of origin product!Many kisses from Greece,dear!
I love eating salads and this kind a different and wants me to try one...i know that chickpeas is great for excellent source of molybdenum and also good source of folic acid fiber and manganese too.
