Haloumi and Chickpea Arugula Salad With Greek Yogurt Dressing
"We had arugula, grape tomatoes, and greek yogurt in the fridge. It was really hot outside, and I wanted a quick, refreshing, healthy, yet satisfying summer salad. Went to the market and saw that haloumi cheese was on sale. Everything else just sounded good together. And it is good together! The raw ingredients all offer a wide array of textures, which I appreciate in a salad. Regarding spices: those are estimates; I just tossed some stuff in there, but those amounts sound about right. Feel free to play with it. :-) Have fun, and enjoy!"

This is good. I used baby arugula in a lesser amount, make sure to use softer chickpeas as the ones I used were a bit harder and didn't work so well here, I used English cucumber so I did not seed, Balkan (thick) yogurt, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground coriander, plus the rest.
