I’ve been all about the big, bright salads lately! I love this chopped chickpea Greek salad because it’s loaded with all my favorite salad veggies in a simple homemade dressing. I started making all my own salad dressings a few years ago, and let me tell ya, what a difference it makes!

I’ve always loved chopped salads – my absolute favorite is the chopped salad from Portillos. This one has more of a Greek vibe to it with kalamata olives and a red wine vinaigrette. I added chickpeas instead of chicken, so this salad still has lots of plant-protein but stays vegetarian.

What’s In This Greek Chopped Salad with Chickpeas?

Lettuce, Spinach, Cucumber, Tomatoes, Onions
No Salt Added Chickpeas: one of my favorite pantry staple ingredients! You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch in the Instant Pot.
Kalamata Olives: make sure they are pitted! I love the rich briny flavor of herby kalamata olives, which have a purple hue and a really nice flavor.
Greek extra virgin olive oil
Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar for the marinade to give this dish a really nice bright Mediterranean flavor – for that, this red wine vinegar is my go-to!
Oregano: a spice I always put in my chili, tacos, or fajitas! This dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor, and goes so well with the roasted vegetables.
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
