Chickpea Chopped Salad

We completely adore chopped veggie salads. That’s quite obvious because we sure have a lot of them here on the CFC website.

If you’re looking for a simple dish to bring to that Get-together that’ll delight the taste buds: this is a good one.

🥒 When the produce is fresh, inexpensive, and at its peak flavor throughout the Summer… you’ll likely find a chopped veggie salad on our dinner table each evening.

🔪 Do you like chopping veggies?

I’ve always found it to be very meditative for me. Chopping veggies forces me to slow down, calm down, and be present. It’s strangely soothing while the finished result always makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment that my family will be eating all those beautifully prepared fresh vegetables.

🇬🇷Feta is Greece’s most famous cheese (and my favorite!) Many say it’s also the healthiest.

🐐 Usually made from sheep or goat milk (or a combo), Feta cheese is nutrient-rich. Feta is said to be easier to digest and less allergenic and inflammatory than cheeses made from cow’s milk, which makes it a good option.
