chickpeas (drained and dried)

cherry tomatoes

onion

English cucumber

vegan feta cheese

parsley (stems removed)

extra virgin olive oil

lemon juice

dijon mustard

In a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red onions, cucumber cubes, feta cheese and parsley.

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss again to combine.

OPTIONAL, but makes a delicious difference: Cover the salad and let sit for 30 minutes to up to an hour so that all the ingredients are completely soaked in and the flavours combined. Serve and enjoy!

Hi! I love making the salad. I’m wondering if I can add additional protein like chicken or ground beef to it. Have you ever tried making this recipe with meat?

So so so good!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful meal with us 

We make this often and it’s fantastic! It also kept well the next day. I’m planning for a gathering of about 32 adults—do you think doubling or even tripling the recipe would work with the same ratios?

Love this recipe! It is so good as is and also perfect for a base...don't like Dijon use whole grain old style mustard...lots of zucchini on hand sub or add with cucumber....need more protien add protien pasta. I had no feta cheese this week and it was still so good! I did have some olives so threw those in.  Thank you so much for sharing this it has been my weekly meal prep for lunch for the last month and such a good recipe for using what you have on hand!

This has to my one of my favorite meal prep recipes. I make this all the time. Quick, fresh, yummy! I am not vegan, so in order to meet my needs, I add very finally chopped chicken tenderloins that I marinate. I could eat this every week! 

Really good. I don’t like tomatoes 🍅 that much so I added extra cucumber. It wasn’t as pretty as yours but the taste is amazing. 

This was a big hit at our family gathering!  I doubled the feta and used aged balsamic vinegar, 10/10!

This is so delicious!! And I really appreciate how quickly you can put it together - thanks for posting this!!! 

Really great. I skipped the mustard and used oil-cured black olives. A great addition to the summer repertoire.

Please do not sell my info. Thanks. JB

Wow this is *delicious*!!! And SO easy &amp; quick!!! AND even better the next day 😍Definitely going in the regular rotation. I ate it with warmed up rice and kale today to round it out a little more as a meal and highly recommend having it that way if you’re looking to get carbs and greens.
