Description
A refreshing and nutritious salad that boosts protein intake with crisp cucumbers, creamy feta, and hearty chickpeas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, diced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or dill)
Instructions
- Begin by dicing the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, and rinsed chickpeas.
- Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste for an extra layer of flavor.
- Toss gently to combine all the ingredients without breaking up the feta too much. If you’d like, garnish your salad with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added color and taste. Serve immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors before enjoying.
Notes
For best texture and flavor, enjoy it fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
