Whipped Feta Dressing
Garnish (Optional)
Rinse the beans and drain in colander. Prepare all the vegetables as described in the ingredient list above.
In a medium mixing bowl, take olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, grated garlic, red pepper flakes, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and whisk it well.
Add all the beans, vegetables, herbs and toss well to coat. Adjust seasoning as per taste. Set aside.
In a small food processor fitted with a blade, process feta, Greek yogurt, garlic and lemon zest. With the processor running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening, and blend until the mixture is smooth, thick, but of dropping consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Tip: Double the whipped feta and save half for later.
On a large serving platter, arrange arugula (if using). Then scatter about half the pita chips, crushing a few of them. Carefully transfer the bean salad all over. Dollop the feta dressing on top and decorate with lemon wedges, crumbled feta and remaining pita chips.
