Ingredients

• 2 large cucumber
• 1 can canned garbanzo beans
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut them into thin half-moon slices and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans under cold water to remove any excess sodium. Add them to the bowl with cucumbers.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley, and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Core and chop the red bell pepper into small pieces, then mix into the salad bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice from the lemon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and garbanzo mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and give it one final toss.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
