Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 4 large pre-made flatbreads or naan breads
  • 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes or halved grape tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: Kalamata olives, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place flatbreads directly on an oven rack or a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, chopped red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss gently to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly brush each flatbread with a little olive oil if desired. Bake flatbreads for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly warmed and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Remove flatbreads from the oven. Spoon the chickpea mixture evenly over each flatbread. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and optional Kalamata olives.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Toast your flatbreads before adding toppings for the best texture.
  • Customize with your favorite Mediterranean toppings like bell peppers, spinach, or a drizzle of tzatziki.
