Salad doesn't HAVE to be BORING!!!

in health •  6 years ago 

Thanks to the chickpeas, this salad will leave you feeling full and satisfied for hours in a way that leafy greens simply can't! As an added bonus....they're loaded with protein.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE SALAD:

2 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 medium cucumber, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 c. chopped kalamata olives
1/2 c. crumbled feta
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE LEMON PARSLEY VINAIGRETTE:

1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl toss together chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta. Season with salt and pepper.
In a jar fitted with a lid, combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Shake until emulsified, then season with salt and pepper.
Dress salad with vinaigrette and serve.

salad.. like most

I also like to take salad regularly. Vegetables in salads are good sources of insoluble fiber, which keeps your digestive tract healthy.

yummy dute , i am so hungry ...please invite me..

Very beautiful salad, varal colors, watery mouth, (terms that we use when the photo leaves us wanting to eat), and the good thing is that it will leave us satisfied for a long time. (obs: I'm Brazilian and I do not know how to speak English, I use the google translator).
