What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/3 cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

How to Make It

  1. Lightly crush the chickpeas with a fork, keeping most whole.
  2. Fold in the feta, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  3. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  4. Pile onto one arepa and top with the second.
  5. Wrap in paper; it's cohesive and gets better after an hour.

About This Recipe

A chickpea salad with feta, cucumber and lemon is the Greek village lunch, no cooking required. Lightly crushing some of the chickpeas helps the whole thing hold together in a sandwich.
