GREEK STYLE SALAD

This Greek Style Salad is not the traditional Greek Salad, as I took the liberty of adding cooked chickpeas, pomegranate and lettuce leaves. To go with it I made some Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing as yogurt has a cooling effect and is ideal for hot summer days.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup boiled chickpeas
• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 10 baby tomatoes (halved)
• 1/4 cup onion (diced)
• 1/2 cup feta cubes or crumbled

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
