The Greeks rely on two things: simplicity and high-quality ingredients. This salad reflects that culinary philosophy. A bed of crispy chickpeas tossed with tangy tomato, creamy feta, crunchy cucumber, & fresh greens are topped with seared ostrich cubes and croutons. Finished with a yoghurt dressing.

CRISPY Chickpeas
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the Chickpeas until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan and season. Alternatively, air fry the coated chickpeas at 200°C until crispy, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).
O-YUM Ostrich
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel, and cut it into bite-sized chunks. Sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
Yoghurt DRESSING & SALAD
In a bowl, combine the Yoghurt, and loosen with a splash of water. Season. In a separate bowl, combine the Cucumber, the tomato, the feta, the salad leaves, the Chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
