A simple and fresh Mediterranean salad packed with cucumbers, chickpeas, tomatoes, sweet peppers, parsley, and feta and topped with a lemon olive oil dressing. This salad is perfect as a side dish or as a whole meal. 
I’m so excited t share this fun and festive salad with you today. It’s packed with beautiful healthy vegetables and it’s also pretty filling so you can have it as a side or a stand alone lunch. Sometimes I like to toss in some cooked chicken or shrimp and call it a day. Feel free to add parmesan shavings, grilled beef or chicken, olives, hard-boiled eggs, or any type of protein to make this salad a complete meal.
The feta cheese and lemon olive oil dressing make this salad really special. I sliced my cucumbers but feel free to be creative and shave them or spiralize them!
To begin, thinly slice the cucumbers and slice the onions and sweet peppers. Mince the parsley then combine all the veggies along with olive oil, lemon, feta cheese and salt & pepper to taste.
