Cucumber Chickpea Salad with Feta & Lemon
This Cucumber Chickpea Salad with Feta & Lemon is a refreshing and updated spin-off of a classic Greek salad. It includes traditional ingredients, such as antioxidant-packed red onion, sweet bell pepper, hydrating cucumber and salty feta cheese in our salad. We added fiber-rich chickpeas, fresh herby dill, tangy lemon and Veri Fine Brand Broccoli—all combined with heart-healthy extra-virgin olive oil. This is perfect as a dinner side or a light make-ahead lunch.
