Ingredients

  • 1 pound cucumber Persian, diced
  • 1 pound tomatoes ripe, red, seeded and diced
  • 14 ounces chickpeas 1 can, aka garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt lowfat or nonfat
  • 1/4 cup sour cream lowfat
  • 2 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, and chickpeas in a salad bowl and gently toss till well combined.
  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sour cream, dill, lemon juice and salt.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over salad.
  4. Toss the salad gently till all ingredients are well combined. Add additional lemon juice and salt to taste, if desired.
  5. Chill salad before serving. Juices will gather at the bottom of the bowl as time passes. To get rid of excess yogurt juices, you can strain the salad in a colander before serving. I like sopping up the juices with whole grain bread or challah.

Notes

  • Modification: If you're not a fan of dill, you can substitute chopped fresh mint leaves.
