Recipe Notes
- The step of soaking the onions in white wine vinegar and sugar tempers the strength of the onions. If you don't mind raw onions you can skip that step. You could also just soak the onions in water.
Here's how to make it:
- Place sliced onions in a small bowl. Cover with white wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Set aside.
-
Make the vinaigrette by combining all the dressing ingredients in a container with a lid.
- Shake to combine. Set aside.
-
In a medium to large bowl assemble chickpeas, feta, cucumbers, peppers, olives and onions.
- Add salad dressing and toss. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
