Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced English cucumber peeled in stripes and quartered
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion
  • 15 oz can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado diced
  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
Dressing
  • 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a jar or in a small bowl
  2. Mix all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with the homemade salad dressing. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
  3. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Notes

  • Feel free to add in other salad veggies you have. Bell peppers, green onions, or sliced black olives are great additions.
  • Dice the red onion fairly small so that it doesn't overpower the other ingredients and combines well.
  • If making ahead of time, leave the avocado out until you are ready to serve. Without the avo, the chickpea salad will keep well for 4 to 5 days.
