Preparation

  1. In a salad bowl, combine the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, and arugula. 
  2. Add the feta, if using. 
  3. Season with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 
  4. Mix well. Add fresh basil to taste. 
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve. 

Biotalia Tip: 

  • Switch it up! No feta? Use black olives or diced avocado for a vegan and equally tasty version. 
  • Save time. Prepare the salad the day before — chickpeas soak up the flavors and taste even better after a few hours in the fridge. 
  • Waste-free idea. Add leftover veggies from the fridge — bell peppers, radishes, or thinly sliced red onion all work beautifully.
