This Greek-inspired bean salad combines the classic flavors of a traditional Greek salad with the protein-rich base of chickpeas, making it a dense and nutritious meal option.
I'm obsessed with bean salads, and for good reason! Chickpeas have become my go-to plant-based protein source over the past few years—they're so versatile and delicious.
This Greek Chickpea Salad combines the best of everything: the rich flavors of a traditional Greek salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, olives, Greek feta and oregano) with the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and the convenience of a meal that works for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
Make the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Salad: Combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, red onion, parsley, and mint in a large mixing bowl.
Add the Feta: Gently fold in the feta cheese to avoid crumbling.
Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
