Ingredients

For the salad:

• 3 tomatoes, chopped
• 2 zucchini, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed, 15 oz

For the Vinaigrette:

• 3 tablespoons pomegranate vinegar, I get this from Trader Joe's. Red wine vinegar will work.
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dried basil or oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt + more to taste

Instructions 

• Combine all salad ingredients in a medium serving bowl.
• Whisk all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.
• Pour vinaigrette over vegetable/bean mixture and toss to combine. Enjoy at room temperature or chilled. Store, covered, in the fridge for several days. Also, great served with chips or crackers or as a salad topper.

Notes

This type of salad benefits from extra chill time. Make it ahead of when you need it so the flavors meld.
