Protein-Packed Mediterranean Summer Salad

June 02, 2021 · by Brittany Douglas

It’s heating up outside, which means it’s the perfect time for those refrigerated recipes.

Whether it’s a side dish you’re needing for a barbecue or just a cool snack to enjoy throughout the week, this is the perfect salad, and it only takes a few minutes to make!

Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup of red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup of red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1/3 of an English cucumber, diced
  • 1 diced Roma tomato
  • 1/3 cup of feta cheese crumbles

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of basil flakes 
  • salt & freshly ground pepper

(If you don’t mind a little bit of a kick, add in a 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.)

Combine all of the above salad ingredients, pour over the dressing, gently mix, & enjoy!

This dish will stay fresh for up to four days if kept stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
