Featuring crisp cucumber, sweet red pepper, creamy chickpeas, briny olives, and fragrant parsley, it's a delightful mix of textures and tastes. Tossed in a zesty dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, this salad is both refreshing and satisfying. Whether you're enjoying it as a light lunch, a side dish, or a colorful addition to your gathering, this salad promises to leave your taste buds dancing and your guests asking for seconds. No cook meals like this are my favourite when the weather starts to heat up.


Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients like cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or red onion slices according to your taste preferences.
