Here’s a delicious way to eat more veggies and protein at the same time. With two cans of chickpeas, there’s plenty of protein in our Cucumber Chickpea Salad, but the lemon, dill, and cucumber keep things light. This is such a fresh-tasting, but still filling, salad. We love it at our house! It makes a nice side dish, of course, or it can be a meal in itself. This tasty salad keeps well in the refrigerator, so I like to make it early in the week and enjoy it for a couple of days. It would be the perfect dish to take to a picnic or potluck too. Enjoy!

This salad is as good as eating candy!

I really like recipes that give serving sizes or approximate number of servings. Portion control is a BIG issue for me. TIA.
Josephine
Could you suggest a different cheese that would be good in here? We aren’t fond of feta. Many thanks!!
Teresa
You can leave that out altogether, or try a bit of crumbled blue cheese, or if you don’t like that, a bit of grated parmesan.
