This salad is delicious because of the refreshing taste of the mint. I have used millet pasta as we don’t eat wheat. I love the mix of the feta, chickpeas and mint savours and textures. To prepare this salad for 4 persons you will need:
- 250 grams millet pasta (you could use wheat pasta if you prefer)
- 200 grams chickpeas
- 150 grams feta
- Mint leaves
For the seasoning:
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- salt
- pepper
All the ingredients I use are organic. Cook the pastas as per the directions on the packet. Once ready, let them cool. Cut the feta in dices, you can also crumble it. Wash the mint leaves and cut them very thin. Put all the ingredients in a bowl. Prepare the seasoning by mixing the oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper and pour over the salad. Adjust to your taste and enjoy.
What a yummy looking recipe and I’m sure it will be great with brown rice pasta as well. I love mint these, so fresh and interesting and this looks like a perfect use of it! Thanks Steph!
Thank you Dani for your kind words. I am sure it would be great with brown rice pasta too!
