INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (no salt added)
50 grams herb-marinated feta cheese
1/2 cup cooked shelled edamame
1/2 medium cucumber (approx. 100g)
1 medium tomato
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1 small red onion
Approximately 4 Kalamata olives
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 egg whites
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the chickpeas and pat dry.
Dice the cucumber, tomato, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-size pieces. Slice the Kalamata olives if desired.
In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the chickpeas and edamame.
Add the herb-marinated feta, gently crumbling it over the salad.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and fresh lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the salad to add a subtle protein boost.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley.
Toss the salad gently to combine all flavors, taking care not to break up the feta too much.
Serve immediately or chill slightly for a refreshing twist.
