Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 1 can canned garbanzo beans
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut them into thin half-moon slices and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans under cold water to remove any excess sodium. Add them to the bowl with cucumbers.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley, and add them to the bowl.
Core and chop the red bell pepper into small pieces, then mix into the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice from the lemon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and garbanzo mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and give it one final toss.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
