Cucumber and Chickpea Salad with Feta

In this cucumber and chickpea salad with feta, I think what’s even more interesting is the lemon vinaigrette dressing! Have you ever tried this type of dressing?

It’s sssssssooooooooooooo good, but really too good! And frankly, it goes very well with this salad. I also add a little garlic 😉

I’ve already made this salad 3 times this year and I never tire of it. It’s so quick and easy (less than 15 minutes!) to make that it’s not worth going without.

I don’t know about you, but right now, it’s such a rush at home that I’m craving recipes like this one. Between the end-of-year festivities and trips to the nursery, I’m a bit short of time.

And this recipe will suit everyone, because you can take this chickpea salad with you in your lunchbox or picnic during the vacations, or serve it with grilled meats.

And to tell you the truth, kids love this salad too, because the famous vinaigrette is a great help! My 3-year-old loulou ate his share and thoroughly enjoyed it.
