We love a Greek salad. It is so full of flavor and different textures. We created a slightly different version but added some ingredients to ensure fullness and avoid a post-lunch slump. This salad takes only 5-10 minutes to make and is so easy and refreshing for a busy day.
Ingredients
Use as much or as little of each ingredient as you like
Cucumber
Chickpeas (sub another protein if desired)
Broccoli
Cherry tomatoes
Red onion
Greek yogurt
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Chili flakes
Salt
Pepper
Macadamia nuts
Olives
The broccoli and chickpeas will keep you satiated, and the greek yogurt offers some protein along with the chickpeas—cucumber and macadamia nuts for crunch—and red onion, pepper, and olives for indulgence.
Directions
Start by thoroughly washing the produce.
Chop the cucumber, red onion, and broccoli, then slice the tomatoes and add to a bowl. Add chickpeas to the same bowl and mix it in with the veggies.
For the dressing, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the veggies and chickpeas and lightly stir into the mixture.
Lastly, add some macadamia nuts and slice some olives to top it off!
