Ingredients:
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp rapeseed oil
- good pinch of dried oregano or 1 tsp fresh, chopped
- 175g canned chickpeas, drained
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 10cm/4in piece of cucumber, cut into chunks
- 6 pitted Kalamata olives, halved and rinsed to remove excess salt
- 3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
- small handful mint leaves
- 2 tsp plain flour
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 100g reduced-fat feta (sometimes called salad cheese), cubed
- 1-2 tsp rapeseed oil
Instructions:
- Combine the vinegar with the oil and oregano in a bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients without mixing yet.
