  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: About 4 generous servings

Ingredients

– 2 1/4 cups diced cucumbers, partially peeled

– 1 cup tomato, seeded and diced

– 1/4 cup red onion, diced

– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

– 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

– 15 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Instructions

1-Start: Start by rinsing and draining the canned chickpeas to remove any excess sodium, setting the stage for a fresh flavor. Next, dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin partially on for added texture and nutrients. Finely chop the red onion and mince the fresh parsley to ensure even flavors throughout the salad.

2-Combine: In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion for a colorful mix. Drizzle in the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and add the minced parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly, creating a refreshing blend that’s ready to enjoy.

3-Refrigerate: For the best results, refrigerate the salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days to let the flavors meld. If you want to adapt it, try adding more lemon juice for extra zing or swapping oils as needed. This simple process makes it a go-to option for quick meals that impress without the fuss.
