Healthy Greek Chickpea Salad

Seriously, guys, this is one of the BEST Greek salads I’ve ever had. I am near obsessed with this salad. I make it a LOT because I find it’s truly one of those salads that everyone enjoys. If there are any ingredients you’re not fond of, simply leave them out. And if you’d like, add some chopped grilled chicken to make this salad even more hearty. Or keep it vegetarian and add quinoa or bowtie pasta.

And!! The best part is that it takes minutes to throw together and LASTS. I like it best once it’s sat in the fridge for a bit so all the flavors can marry (I hate that expression) but it’s not anything close to terrible if you want to eat it right away.

I especially love bringing this along to serve at gatherings, like summer barbecues or pool parties. When there’s lots of yummy desserts and other heavy dishes to chow down on, it’s nice to have a healthier alternative too.

I’m always down for a fresh side to balance everything out, and this Healthy Greek Chickpea Salad definitely fits the bill!

I’m such a pizza fanatic and, recently, I’ve been loving Caulipower’s new all natural uncured pepperoni pizza. This isn’t a sponsored post, I just love sharing my favorite products with you guys and this is a good one. Caulipower’s cauliflower crust pizzas are the best cauliflower crust pizzas I’ve tried. I found mine at Kroger.

SERVING HEALTHY GREEK CHICKPEA SALAD

I usually serve this Greek salad as a side dish to pizza or some type of meat, like grilled chicken or seared salmon. It would also be fabulous on its own as a meal with a dollop of yogurt and pita bread.

It’s the perfect side to bring to a barbecue or potluck. Believe me your friends will thank you for this one. It also works well for meal prepping because it tastes even more flavorful after sitting for some time.
