Instructions
First, roast the chickpeas. Preheat oven to 400F. Drain, rinse, and dry the chickpeas. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake for 25-30 min, then stir and cook for another 15-20 minutes. (Note: you can also roast them in an air fryer for about 10 minutes).
While chickpeas are roasting, make the tabbouleh salad. Cook or soak the bulgur as packaging instructs.
Finely chop the parsley by hand or with a food processor. Add to a large bowl with chopped mint, cucumber, and onion.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining salt in a small bowl. Add to the salad and mix so that all ingredients are well combined. Set the tabbouleh salad aside.
In a separate bowl, make the Greek salad. Mix all vegetables, top with feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice salt, and pepper. Mix and set aside
Spread the hummus evenly across the bottom of a large serving dish.
Spread a layer of aubergine spread or baba ghanoush on top of the hummus.
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, dill, and lemon juice. Spread the yogurt mixture over the hummus.
Next, add a layer of tabbouleh salad and spread it evenly across the yogurt mixture.
Then add the Greek salad. Top with a layer of crumbled feta and chickpeas.
Serve with pita bread, pita chips, and/or falafel!
