Description
A delightful and nutritious salad that balances sweet and savory flavors with protein-rich chickpeas and tangy feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or herbs for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and diced red onion. Mix these ingredients gently to avoid breaking the feta.

- Garnish the salad with fresh parsley or your choice of herbs.

Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chickpeas in a bit of lemon juice and spices before mixing. If you’re not a fan of feta, try crumbled goat cheese or diced avocado for a creamy texture.
