Cucumber Chickpea Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing

Last updated on April 15th, 2023 at 01:48 pm

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!
