Salad Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 8 ounces feta cheese, diced or crumbled
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
Dressing Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey or maple syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
- Toss salad together: Add the drained chickpeas, diced or crumbled feta, finely diced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly and coat everything with the dressing.
- Season to taste: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or black pepper if desired to enhance the flavors.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy. The flavors will meld together nicely after chilling.
Notes
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey to make the salad vegan-friendly.
- For extra crunch, add chopped cucumbers or toasted nuts.
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
- Rinse canned chickpeas well to reduce sodium content.
