Ingredients
- 2 cups of quartered sliced cucumber (I prefer persian or english cucumbers)
- For the dressing:
- 1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup of finely diced red or yellow bell pepper

Notes
- Use a sharp knife to cut your veggies.
- When you chop your veggies, try to cut them all around the same size. You also want them small enough to easily pick up with a fork. I try to chop everything into 1/2 inch long pieces.
- I like to crumble my own feta cheese instead of buying pre-crumbled cheese. The pre-crumbled cheese tends to have anti-caking agents that can dry out the cheese.
