- 1–2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

- (optional for serving) feta cheese (reg. or dairy-free), cooked quinoa or farro, tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Combine: Add chickpeas, kalamata olives, english cucumber, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, dill and parsley to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Taste + Dressing: Add in 1/2 cup of Greek vinaigrette and toss to combine. Taste and add another 1/2 cup or so, depending upon personal preference.
- Serving: Serve immediately alone or with some quinoa and tzatziki sauce OR divide into meal prep containers and have for lunch or dinners for the coming weeks!
Notes
- Greek Vinaigrette: we have an amazing Greek Vinaigrette recipe on the site, but I genuinely love grabbing a bottle of Primal Kitchen Greek Vinaigrette to save time!
- Make Ahead: this is a great recipe to make ahead for lunches for the week!
- Feta Cheese: the feta cheese can definitely be added in immediately, even if meal prepping, but I just prefer to add it when serving – totally up to you!
- Salt: I didn’t find this recipe needed much salt, but feel free to add a sprinkle if you want – just know that the salt will pull out some of the juices from the tomato, leaving the salad a bit more watery.
