We’re no strangers to a great chickpea salad, so coming up with a Greek-inspired one was a no-brainer. It’s got all the flavors you love from Greek salad, turned into something more substantial and filling that pairs well with almost anything. It’s wonderful on its own, or served alongside chicken, seafood, or steak for a complete meal. You could even stir in sliced salami or chopped boiled eggs to boost it up. Trust us—you’re going to want to keep a few cans of chickpeas in your pantry so you’ll always be ready to make this. (Hot tip: It’s great for bringing to last-minute potlucks too!)
Chickpeas aren’t the only MVP in this salad, either. There is also a creamy yogurt dressing, briny olives, feta, and crunchy vegetables like bell peppers and cucumbers. Don’t have or like some of those options? This tasty and filling salad is ripe for improvisation—feel free to swap in and out whatever you’ve got in your fridge.
