Greek chickpea salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion is on the menu today! This easy salad makes a great side dish to grilled chicken or spiced lamb kefta for an easy Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Today I am sharing a salad that’s just as colorful as it is healthy. Fresh tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chickpeas are tossed in a light lemon dressing. Add some fresh parsley and you’ve got yourself a refreshing, simple side dish for Greek nights!
It’s fresh, flavorful, and zesty, with a nice crunch that pairs well with your favorites from the grill.
