Mediterranean Chickpea Herb Salad

Mediterranean Chickpea Herb Salad

A vibrant, healthy salad packed with chickpeas, fresh vegetables, and herbs.

  • Total Time: 15

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can chickpeas ((15 oz), drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 medium cucumber (diced)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium bell pepper (diced (any color))
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled (optional))
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper. Make sure to mix them gently to avoid mashing the chickpeas.
  • Add the fresh parsley and mint to the bowl. These herbs are crucial for that vibrant flavor!
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This dressing brings everything together beautifully.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well-coated.
  • If using feta, sprinkle it on top just before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
