Description
A vibrant Mediterranean Chickpea Salad with crunchy cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, and creamy feta, all coated in a zesty lemon dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, red onion, and parsley in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes
For best texture, avoid over-mixing and season carefully since feta is naturally salty. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
