Chickpea salad with lemon parsley vinaigrette

Note: This is either a vegan or vegetarian entree salad. Omit feta for the vegan rendition.

Doesn’t this look good! Summertime in a dish. And a cool dinner is what I need tonight because it is unseasonably hot today. In the 90’s, yikes! This dish is chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, green onions, olives, shallots, avocados, and some chopped up pepperoncini for a little zing.  It is dressed with a lemon-parsley vinaigrette. I garnished mine with some feta.

After eating some of the salad, I scooped the rest up in a whole wheat pita. Salad or sandwich, it’s up to you.
