INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Herb-Marinated Feta Cheese (approx 100g)

2 oz Grilled Shrimp (approx 56g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved

1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/8 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
5 Kalamata Olives
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

PREPARATION
Prepare the herb-marinated feta by either using pre-marinated feta or marinate your feta cheese in a mix of olive oil, dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine chopped cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
Add in the cooked chickpeas and gently toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar to form a light dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetable and chickpea mixture, tossing gently to coat.
Top the salad with grilled shrimp and crumbled herb-marinated feta cheese.
Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley over the salad and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, protein-packed Mediterranean delight.
