Mediterranean Chickpea Salad with Tomato, Cucumber and Feta

With the heatwaves we’ve experienced in the south of France this summer, we’ve redoubled our imagination to eat varied and good, but cold. This Mediterranean chickpea salad with tomato, cucumber and feta cheese has been on our menus on several occasions.

In fact, I shared this recipe on the blog several years ago, and every summer we enjoy it again.

And this year, I wanted to give it a makeover because my photos were 7 years old and I felt they didn’t really pay tribute to this delicious salad….

I love salads, they’re easy to make, you can reinvent them endlessly and they’re practical to take to work in a lunchbox.

On the other hand, I don’t know if you’re like me, but in the evening I can eat very light, but at lunchtime I still need my meal to hold my stomach.

So this kind of recipe is great, because chickpeas are exactly what I need to keep me going until the evening… 🙂

I love the balance of this salad, in the flavors, textures and freshness of the ingredients.
