This chunky Greek vegetable salad is the perfect side dish, but the chickpeas mean it’s also hearty enough to be a lunch in itself!

This time of year I love eating lightened-up and cooler sides. Anything to not use the oven in this heat, right? And this Greek vegetable salad gives me just that: a filling option that doesn’t require cooking.

I love salads like this: hearty enough to eat as a light lunch, or perfect alongside a piece of fish. It’s a fantastic little addition for these Greek chicken bowls too! Plus, it’s served cold or room temperature, so it makes a great dish for your next barbecue or outdoor party!

Recipe inspiration this round goes to my friend Sage, who’s the kind of friend that I can sit at the table while she preps dinner. This is similar to a version she made as part of an easy weeknight meal.

Greek Vegetable Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas
• 4 green onions
• 8 oz grape tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp parlsey
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch pepper

Steps:

1. Prep the veggies. Slice the green onions, quarter the tomatoes, dice the cucumbers (and peel – optional).
2. Rinse and drain the can of chickpeas, then combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.

That’s it! If you want to add an extra kick, sprinkle some feta cheese on top.
