Notes on Ingredients
- Cucumber: I used peeled Persian cucumbers, but any variety of cucumber works. Feel free to leave the skin on and wash them well.
- Chickpeas: Drain and rinse your chickpeas thoroughly before using.
- Feta: I use dairy-free feta from Violife to keep this salad dairy-free and plant-based.
- Dill: Fresh dill adds so much yummy flavor and is better than dried but dried will work in a pinch.

Commonly Asked Questions
Store salad leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I like to do a hearty sandwich like Grillable Black Bean Burgers or a side of Air-Fried Tofu Nuggets.
If you don’t like feta, you can swap another tangy cheese in, sprinkle nutritional yeast, or add crumbled tofu in place of it. I always use a dairy-free feta cheese from Violife to keep it dairy-free. You could also just leave it out entirely.
