Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 2 tbsp Greek dressing
Instructions
- Prep Your Veggies: Start by dicing the cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. Next up, halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Onions, Oh My!: Slice the red onion as thinly as possible. Soak in cold water if needed to mellow the sharp flavor.
- Rinse and Drain the Chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas and drain them well to keep the salad from becoming watery.
- Gather in a Bowl: In a large bowl, add the chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Stir gently.
- Dress It Up: Drizzle your Greek dressing over the salad. Mix gently to coat without crushing the ingredients.
- Taste Test: Sample the salad and adjust flavors with lemon juice or salt if necessary.
- Chill and Serve: Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for maximum flavor.
Notes
Consider packing the salad into individual containers for meal prep. Keep the dressing separate until ready to maintain crunch.
