  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil, divided
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 pint (5 ounces) cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 mini naan or small pitas (or two large ones cut in half)
  • balsamic glaze, for serving

Instructions

  • Divide half of the lemon zest and juice into one small mixing bowl and one large mixing bowl.
  • In the small mixing bowl, add the feta, pesto, 2 tablespoons basil, and several grinds of black pepper. Mix with a fork until fully combined and spreadable.
  • In the large mixing bowl, add the olive oil, garlic, a generous pinch of salt, and several grinds of pepper and whisk to combine. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, and remaining 4 tablespoons basil. Season with salt until it tastes vibrant and flavorful.
  • Toast the naan in a toaster, skillet, or under the broiler. Divide the feta mixture between them, then top each with the chickpea salad. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
