Greek Chickpea and Cucumber Salad
This Greek chickpea and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It's made with chickpeas, cucumbers, red onion, parsley, feta cheese, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano. The salad is easy to make and can be served immediately or refrigerated for later.
This salad is inspired by the classic Greek salad, but with a few twists. I've added chickpeas for protein and fiber, and replaced the tomatoes with cucumbers for a lighter and more refreshing flavor. The red onion and parsley add a bit of bite and freshness, and the feta cheese adds a creamy and salty balance. The dressing is made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano, which gives the salad a bright and tangy flavor.
