Description
A quick and satisfying salad that combines cottage cheese and chickpeas with fresh veggies for a nutritious meal or side.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chickpeas, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to avoid mashing the cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and mix until well combined, folding everything together gently.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavors.
Notes
Rinse chickpeas until the water runs clear for the best flavor. For a less pungent taste, soak diced red onion in cold water for 5 minutes before adding it to the salad.
