I have really been craving anything that has a crisp and fresh summery taste lately. I don’t know why, although maybe it has something to do with it being summer. But who knows…maybe that’s just me.
This salad is just full of those flavors! It makes a great side dish and it’s also amazing tucked into a pita for a sandwich. And best of all, it has so few ingredients and it comes together in just minutes. What’s not to love?
Chickpea & Cucumber Salad
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 large cucumber; peeled, quartered and sliced
- 1 5 oz. can sliced black olives, drained
- 1/3 c. olive oil
- 2 T. red wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1 t. sugar
- 1 t. salt
- 1/2 t. pepper
- 1/2 t. Italian seasoning
- 1/4 c. diced fresh parsley
1. Combine chickpeas, cucumber and black olives in a bowl. In a seperate bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir in parsley and pour over chickpea mixture. Toss to coat and refrigerate until serving.
See what I mean? It’s as easy as could be and yet extremely delicious. You could easily double or even triple for company or to take along to a picnic. Enjoy!
Oh, I love this! I might even through in some red peppers that are sitting in my fridge ready to be eaten! Thanks!
I’m thinking some feta cheese would be an absolute perfect addition!
This looks like a perfect salad for a hot summer evening. Love how quick it will be to put together – that is key when you have a little one. The sooner you finish preparing food the sooner you can eat and get back to baby.
This looks like a perfect side dish for some chicken wraps that I plan to make in a few weeks! I’m going to feature this in my “Five to Try” post tomorrow.
Thank you for this recipe! This is the bst thing I have eaten in a long time. So refreshing and flavorful!
I can’t wait to Try this salad! thank you for the recipe.
