INGREDIENTS
3 oz Feta Cheese (~85g)
2/3 cup cooked Chickpeas (~150g)
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (~75g)
3/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved (~112g)
1/2 cup diced Cucumber (~52g)
1/4 cup thinly sliced Red Onion (~40g)
4 Kalamata Olives (~28g)
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley (~8g)
1/4 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (marinade)
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of dried Oregano and Thyme
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the herb marinade.
Place the feta cheese in a shallow dish and drizzle with a little of the herb marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes, gently turning to coat all sides.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, edamame, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley.
Crumble the marinated feta over the mixed vegetables.
Drizzle the remaining herb marinade over the salad and toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
