Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice, 1 to 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Salad:

  • 2 (15oz) cans chickpeas or 3 cups (500g) cooked chickpeas
  • 1 medium thin-skinned cucumber, like hot house or Persian, chopped
  • 6 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill or mint
  • 2 ounces (55g) feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Make the salad: Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add them to the bowl with the dressing along with cucumber, tomatoes, and dill. Crumble feta over the top and toss well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, omit the feta and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but add cucumbers and tomatoes just before serving for the best freshness.
