Greek-Style Chickpea Salad
Fresh cucumber and mint with a punchy olive dressing
Why This Recipe Works
Canned chickpeas are the perfect base here, soaking up a sharp lemon and olive dressing while providing a creamy contrast to crisp cucumbers. It's a reliable, pantry-friendly dish that stays fresh in the fridge for days.
Instructions
Whisk the lemon juice, olives, mustard, and garlic together in a large bowl until the mixture is well combined.
Slowly stream in the oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Add the chickpeas, onion, cucumber, mint, feta, and parsley to the bowl; toss gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed and thoroughly coated in dressing.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately or chill for a more developed flavor.
