Ingredients

  • 2 cans chickpeas
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 cucumber
  • 8 tomatoes
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 Spanish onion
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the canned chickpeas and kidney beans. 
  • Finely chop the Spanish onion. Dice the cucumber and the tomatoes. 
  • Finely chop the parsley. Combine everything in a large bowl and stir in the lemon juice and the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. 

Notes

  • The salad is best if you make it a few hours before serving it. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge. 
  • If you want, you could also add some vegan feta to this salad. I included a recipe for easy vegan feta with tofu in my Greek pasta salad recipe.
  • Diced avocado is also a great addition and it adds healthy fats. Make sure to add it just before serving.
