Upgrade your everyday salad into a protein-packed meal with some staples from your pantry.  Grab a can of garbanzo beans and mix with avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and herbs for a hearty Greek salad. It’s easy to assemble and, beans are a great alternative to your typical grilled chicken salad topper. 

Plus, you can store the dressing in the fridge for up to a week! 

Ingredients

2 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 avocado

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large cucumber, quartered

1/4 red onion, finely diced

1/2 cup crumbled feta

1/4 cup chives, thinly sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 dash salt + pepper

 

Directions

  1. Place chickpeas, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, cheese and chives in a large bowl, set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl or mason jar, combine olive oil, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and dry seasonings and mix vigorously.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  4. Garnish with additional feta and chives if desired, then serve.
