The other day, I was on the creativity struggle bus.

I wasn’t feeling good about my photography. I could NOT for the life of me come up with any interesting recipe concepts and oh my gosh I literally had nothing interesting to say about any of the recipes I had previously tested.

So you know what I did?

I stopped working and just cooked for fun.

I didn’t write down a recipe. I didn’t think about if anyone else would like the recipe. And I had no plans of taking even a single photo of my creation.

And you know what?

It was SO refreshing.

And you know what?

It turned out really delicious and gave me a whole new wave of creativity.

I got off the creativity struggle bus and ended up creating this AWESOME chopped chickpea greek salad. My “cooking for fun” turned into my latest obsession.

Sometimes it’s a really good thing to take a break.

closeup of greek chickpea saladIt’s not often I crave Greek or Mediterranean food – normally, I’m more about the Thai and India deliciousness – but when I do, I’m like GIMME all the Greek/Mediterranean food right NOW.

Because of this craving, and conveniently what I had in my fridge/pantry, I decided I needed to make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken (coming soon!) and I wanted to make some sort of “salad” to put on top of it.

I looked at what I had in left in my fridge/pantry after whipping up the greek chicken and that, my friends, is how chopped chickpea greek salad was born.

It started, as you can probably guess, with chickpeas.

From there, I threw in some diced red pepper, diced green pepper, and diced cucumber.

Then, I needed a sauce.

I wanted something creamy and tangy, so into another bowl I whisked together non-fat plain greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt.

Toss the sauce and the chickpea mixture together and you’ve got yourself a flavor bomb of deliciousness that I’m calling chopped chickpea greek salad.

This recipe is GREAT on its own – could be an awesome meatless light lunch or snack – but it’s seriously so so SOOOOO delicious over my sheet pan greek chicken.

Hearty, yet light. Tangy, yet creamy. PACKED with dried herbs.

You guys.
