Ingredients
  

Fresh Produce
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
Dairy
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, parsley, and red onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  4. Serve immediately for the best flavor or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Notes

For added crunch, consider incorporating seeds like chia or pumpkin seeds. Replace feta with avocado for a vegan-friendly option. This salad is naturally gluten-free and can be adapted for keto diets by substituting chickpeas with grilled chicken or zucchini noodles.
