Method
 

Chopped Salad
  1. Dice your cucumber and tomato into roughly the same size as your chickpeas. While this isn’t strictly necessary, it makes for a prettier plate, and a nicer mouthfeel.
  2. Crumble or dice your feta.
  3. Mince your shallot very fine.
  4. Toss all your vegetables together with your chick peas.

Tahini Dressing
  1. Mince your garlic very fine and place it in a small bowl.
  2. Add your tahini, lemon juice, and salt, and mix to form a paste.
  3. Add as much, or as little, water as you wish. I find a tablespoon of water brings the dressing to a nice smooth pouring consistency without being too runny.
