Mediterranean Chickpea Salad with Lemon-Herb Dressing
Crisp cucumbers and chickpeas tossed with tender roasted chicken in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and protein-packed crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup canned chickpeas
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Prepare the dressing by whisking the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cooked chicken breast, rinsed chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely minced red onion.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the bright citrus flavors.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley, taking care not to over-mix so the cheese stays in distinct pieces.
Serve the salad immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to stay crisp.
