How to Make Mediterranean Chopped Salad With Shrimp And Chickpeas

  1. Cook shrimp: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1/2 pound shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. Chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare vegetables: Chop 1 cucumber into 1/2-inch pieces. Finely chop 1/2 cup sweet onion (or 1/4 cup red onion).
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), chopped cucumber, chopped onion, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (halved or quartered), and 1/2 cup pita chips.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Toss and serve: Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later.
