I’ve been holding on to this recipe for awhile and I am so glad that Erin shared it with me! This is a fresh and very healthy side dish that could “jazz” up any number of simple entrées. And aside from a bit of chopping, it’s incredibly easy to whip-up.

Steps
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
- Chop the onion, cucumber, tomatoes and bell pepper.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until evenly mixed and coated with the olive oil.

For this sort of dish, the proportions are completely up to you. Plus, with vegetables always varying in size, the proportions listed above are just a really rough guide.- Similarly, you need not stop at these veggies alone. Especially for the vegetarians out there, you can expand this dish into a small meal with the addition of other classic Greek ingredients like feta cheese and olives.
- This recipe yields quite a bit of food, so I served it as both the meal’s carbohydrate and veggie portion…and the whole amount disappeared.
- Grilled chicken with lemon juice and oregano yogurt sauce.
- Spicy or curried chicken, fish, lamb or mutton.
