Ingredients
1 large bunch (about 10 ounces) kale leaves, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 cucumber, seeded and diced
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped kale, drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, pitted Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pressed garlic, red wine vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, fresh chopped parsley, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well blended and the dressing is emulsified.
Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Toss everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately or allow the salad to rest for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Comments
All ingredients are standard stock at Charlotte chains—kale and cherry tomatoes are reliable year-round, chickpeas are shelf-stable, and feta plus kalamata olives are available everywhere from Harris Teeter to Walmart. The real time is closer to 20 minutes of actual hands-on work (chopping, whisking dressing) with no cooking; the stated 45 minutes appears to pad for thorough kale massage, which is optional if you prefer a chewier leaf. Cost per serving runs about $3.50–$4.00, driven by the feta and olives, but both are bought in quantities that stretch across multiple meals. This is a no-fuss cold dish, genuinely reheats fine as leftovers, and suits a weeknight side or a light lunch, though it doesn't anchor a family dinner on its own.
