Feta cheese and chickpeas lend a Mediterranean flair to this satisfying side salad. The Creamy Dill Ranch is great with it, but would also be good with a tangy vinaigrette.
1 7-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed 3 cups cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved (or cherry tomatoes) 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese 1/4 cup red onion, diced 1/2 cup Creamy Dill Ranch Dressing Freshly ground pepper to taste
Place chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, onion, dressing and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until coated.
