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.

I love to serve this salad with grilled chicken or spiced lamb kefta for an easy Mediterranean-inspired meal perfect for weeknights or weekend entertaining.  I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day with a little crumbled feta cheese on top and it was delicious!
