HomeFeta & Cranberry Chickpeas with Lemon Vinaigrette: A Light & Flavorful Mediterranean-Inspired Salad!

1. Prepare the Chickpeas

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
  • Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

  • In a small bowl, whisk together:
     Olive oil
     Fresh lemon juice
     Dijon mustard
     Honey (or maple syrup)
     Minced garlic, salt, and black pepper
  • Whisk until well combined, then set aside.

3. Assemble the Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine:
     Chickpeas
     Crumbled feta cheese
     Dried cranberries
     Finely chopped red onion
     Fresh parsley
  • Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss until well coated.

4.  Let It Marinate & Serve

  • For best flavor, let the salad sit for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing bite!
