Last weekend I had the pleasure of eating a totally scrumptious salad courtesy of my friend Marya (who received and modified the grub from her friend Soula). So I decided to investigate (i.e. ask Marya for the recipe). Now I'm pleased to present Marya/Soula's "Shepherd's Salad"
Shepherd Salad:
1 green bell pepper (chopped coarsely)
1 cucumber (chopped coarsely)
2-4 tomatoes (chopped coarsely)
1 can of chickpeas
Combine all above and dress with the juice of a lemon, olive oil, and dried oregano to taste.
Marya added the chickpeas, "for protein and yumminess," which I agree with completely!
Here was a few quickfire pluses about this salad
1) Easy peasy
2) All of the ingredients have a longer shelf (or fridge) life than your regular salad greens
3) Super healthy - no sodium, and hardly any fat (depending on how much olive oil you use)
4) Super duper delicious! We ate loads, and with the chickpeas this would make a solid small lunch or a super hearty side dish to your main course.
Stew on, Marya and Soula! And Happy Stewing to everyone else!
