Notes
- Meal prep tips:
-
- In meal prep containers layer the cucumber, radishes, chickpeas and dressing at the bottom. Then top with the feta cheese, lettuce and herbs and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. Keep the pita chips or croutons on the side and add just before tossing it all together. (You can also pack the dressing separately too).
- Another way to meal prep this salad is to keep all ingredients in airtight containers in the fridge. Then, when you're ready to enjoy simple assemble the ingredients as you see fit, drizzle with dressing and enjoy!
- If chickpeas aren't your favourite protein, substitute with 2 cups of another protein of choice.
- Other great additions to this salad would be bell peppers, red onion or cherry tomatoes. If adding in more vegetables, aim to add in 1 cup total.
