I stopped off at our local "gourmet" grocery store after running errands this morning, looking for a quick lunch, and they had this Mediterranean rice salad in the deli cooler. OMG! It was rice, onion, parsley, feta, chickpeas, kalamata olives, and red pepper with some kind of garlicky vinaigrette on it. SO delicious and refreshing. I'd try to make some from scratch, but my DH won't eat chickpeas or feta, so I guess I'll be heading back to the store for more.  |

I would make the salad and leave the feta and chickpeas off until the end. Before you add them, split the salad in two and only add them to your portion.

Yum -- I love chickpeas, feta and parsley. There is a good recipe on pinterest I could find for you if interested.

Ohhhh, was this Fresh Market? I stopped in at the one nearest me(45 min. away) and got a small bowl of this. It was delicious!! I grabbed the container after I through eating it to check was ingredients were listed. I am determined to make this at home. IF it is the same one, there is also golden raisins in it.

It sure was Fresh Market! They have great salads. But I didn't find any golden raisins in mine! I don't know if I would have liked that.
Y'all are right--I should just figure out how to make the salad and add the good stuff (chickpeas, feta) to my portion.

Oooooo, yummy. I just followed your board. I noticed that ahi poke was the first pin…I can not get enough poke. I have to make my own now that we live on the Mainland. I probably ate it at least 4-5x week when we lived in Hawaii. Good stuff!

That one sounds delicious, but the one I had didn't have spinach or cucumbers in it. (Which both sound like excellent additions!) I confess I have never heard of rice bran oil, but I bet I could swap in olive oil.

I think I found one close, but not IT. We would have to wing it on the dressing but the ingredients themselves would be easy enough. I will look for it this morning.
