Instructions
Steps:
- To prepare the Mediterranean chickpea salad, start with the dressing. Put three tablespoons of oil in a jar. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice, some salt, pepper and chopped parsley.
- Close the jar tightly and shake it for a few minutes to create a dense and uniform vinaigrette.
- Break up the feta cheese with your hands.
- Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.
- Wash the cucumbers well and remove the skin in strips with a potato peeler. In this way you will have less peel waste and add colour to the salad. Cut the cucumbers into slices.
- Put all the ingredients on a plate, including the chickpeas, or in a salad bowl, season with the vinaigrette and toss or mix well.
