Fresh mediterranean salad with hummus and oregano

A Fresh Mediterranean Salad with Hummus and Oregano is the perfect addition to any meal or can even serve as a light, refreshing main dish. This recipe combines crisp lettuce, crunchy cucumber, hearty kidney beans, and creamy hummus, all seasoned with vinegar and aromatic dried oregano. It's easy to prepare, nutritious, and full of vibrant flavors.

Ingredients:

1 cup lettuce
27g
1/4 cucumber
72g
1/4 cup kidney beans
66g
1 tbsp hummus
16g
1 tbsp vinegar
15g
1 tsp dried oregano
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Start by washing the lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Tear or shred the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
- Wash the cucumber and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Add the diced cucumber to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
2. Add Kidney Beans:
- Open the can of kidney beans, drain them into a colander, and rinse under cold running water to remove any excess salt and liquid. Allow the beans to drain well, then add 1/4 cup to the salad bowl.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir well to blend the ingredients together. This simple dressing will add a fresh and tangy flavor to your salad.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Pour the vinegar and oregano dressing over the lettuce, cucumber, and kidney beans in the salad bowl. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure even coating with the dressing.
- Add 1 tablespoon of hummus on top of the salad. You can either dollop it in the center or mix it slightly into the salad.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to individual serving bowls or plates if desired.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
- If you like, you can garnish the salad with a sprinkle of extra dried oregano or freshly ground black pepper for an added flavor boost.

Tips:

- Use fresh and crisp lettuce to ensure the best texture for your salad.

- To enhance the flavor, consider using a high-quality extra virgin olive oil in addition to the vinegar.

- Mix the vinegar and dried oregano with the hummus before adding it to the salad for an even distribution of flavors.

- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

- You can customize this salad by adding other Mediterranean ingredients like cherry tomatoes, olives, or feta cheese.
