Healthy Recipe

Prep 12 minCook NoneServes 4Vegetarian

This is the salad you’ll actually want to eat for lunch all week. It’s crunchy, tangy and satisfying, holds up brilliantly in the fridge, and comes together without turning on the stove.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 tin chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Handful of fresh parsley or mint

Lemon-herb dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper

Method

  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in the bottom of a large bowl.
  2. Add chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes and onion; toss to coat.
  3. Fold through the feta and herbs just before serving so the feta stays intact.

For meal prep, keep the feta and dressing separate and combine each morning for maximum freshness.

Why it’s a winner

Chickpeas and feta provide protein and calcium, olive oil brings heart-healthy fats, and the raw vegetables keep every vitamin intact. It’s the Mediterranean diet in a bowl.
