Greek Salad Sandwich

The iconic Greek Salad has gone through a little sandwich makeover! The same delicious ingredients (ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, zesty feta cheese, red onion, and piquant pepperoncinis) are joined by well seasoned mashed chickpeas and Greek yogurt.

Greek salad (or hori­atiki salad) is a pop­u­lar salad in Greek cui­sine, usu­ally adorn­ing the table at all din­ing hours of the day. This sand­wich ver­sion uses all of the ingre­di­ents com­monly found in a Greek salad, as well as a few addi­tional Mediterranean-themed top­pers for added flare.

The chick­peas mash is a sim­ple com­bi­na­tion of canned chick­peas, robust olive oil, dill, gar­lic, salt, and pep­per. This mash makes up the base of the sand­wich, fol­lowed by top­pings of cucum­ber, tomato, pep­pers, feta cheese crum­bles, Greek yogurt, and a hearty fin­ish­ing driz­zle of extra vir­gin olive oil.

The chick­peas salad can be made a day or two before you’re plan­ning on assem­bling these sand­wiches. We love a sliced rus­tic, hearty bread for this recipe but feel free to go super authen­tic and use pita instead. 

Ingredients

  • Chickpea Salad

  • 15 oz 15oz can chick­peas, drained and rinsed 

  • 2 table­spoons medium to robust extra vir­gin olive oil

  • 1/2 tea­spoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1/2 tea­spoon dried minced gar­lic

  • 1/2 tea­spoon salt

  • 1 pinch cracked black pep­per

  • Sandwich

  • 8 each rus­tic bread slices, toasted

  • 1 cup cucum­ber, thinly sliced

  • 1 each large tomato, sliced

  • 1/2 cup red onion, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup pep­per­oncini or banana pep­pers, sliced

  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crum­bles

  • 4 table­spoons medium to robust extra vir­gin olive oil

Directions

  • In a large bowl, place chick­peas, olive oil, dill, gar­lic, salt, and pep­per. Using a potato masher, mash the chick­peas until slightly chunky but spread­able.
