Description
A vibrant and satisfying salad packed with fresh vegetables, protein-rich beans, and creamy feta cheese, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
- Fresh veggies (cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes), chopped
- Beans (black beans or chickpeas)
- Feta cheese, crumbled
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Chop the fresh veggies into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cuts for uniform texture and easier eating.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped veggies, beans, and feta cheese, mixing gently to avoid breaking up the cheese too much.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing; it should feel smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated, ensuring no dry spots remain.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then serve chilled to enhance the refreshing quality.
Notes
Aim for uniform pieces when chopping to ensure even flavor distribution. Allow the salad to rest before serving for better flavor melding.
