Preparation
Step 1
DRESSING:
Place first seven ingredients in a glass or plastic container; mix well. Cover and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes, until ready to serve.*
SALAD:
Meanwhile, layer salad ingredients in a large glass container in the following order: red pepper, half of lettuce, chickpeas, onion, remaining lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. Refrigerate salad until ready to serve.
SERVING:
Just before serving, spoon yogurt dressing over top; garnish with feta, olives and pepper. Toss and serve.
Yields about 2 cups per serving.
NOTE: To create a thicker dressing - use greek yogurt *or* strain the yogurt prior to combining it with the other ingredients. To drain, place unbleached paper coffee filters in the bottom of a strainer and place over a dish or bowl to capture liquid. Pour yogurt on top of filter and cover the strainer. Place in refrigerator and allow liquid to drain until it reaches the desired consistency.
