Mediterranean Chickpea and Cucumber Salad

Easy
This salad is the definition of fresh, effortless eating. It brings together crisp garden vegetables and protein-rich chickpeas for a bowl that leaves you feeling light yet energized.
A vibrant, plant-forward salad perfect for meal prep or a quick lunch. It combines fiber-rich chickpeas with hydrating cucumber and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
Let the salad sit for 20 minutes before serving. This allows the chickpeas to absorb the lemon and oregano, making every bite significantly more flavorful.

Absolutely. It keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge, though I recommend adding the cucumber fresh if possible.
Yes, simply omit the feta cheese or replace it with a plant-based alternative.
It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or toasted whole-grain pita bread.
