Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, fiber-packed lunch featuring protein-rich chickpeas, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a zesty lemon-tahini dressing that will keep you full until dinner.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and a splash of warm water until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Pour the tahini dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Fold in the crumbled feta and fresh parsley, giving it one last light stir.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
This is the ultimate lunchbox win! If you're packing this for work or school, keep the dressing in a separate small jar and shake it up right before eating to keep those greens crisp. For a little extra crunch, I love adding a handful of toasted sunflower seeds on top. Healthy made easy!
