Ingredients:

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 medium cucumber, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)

 

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create the tzatziki dressing.

Add the drained chickpeas to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly with the dressing.

Fold in the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and mint if using. Mix gently to combine.

Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or light lunch.
