Name: Chickpea Salad With Minty Yogurt Dressing in a Mason Jar
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: ½ cup reduced-fat (2%) plain Greek yogurt; 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped; ¼ cup fresh mint leaves; sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground white pepper (to taste; optional); 2 cups chickpeas, drained, rinsed; ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced; 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped; ½ cup cucumber, chopped; ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese; ½ cup chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

We love the combination of chickpeas, crisp bell pepper, and refreshing cucumber in this Mediterranean Mason jar salad.

A creamy yogurt dressing with fresh mint and garlic brings all of the flavors together, while feta and parsley add the finishing touch.

This is a great meal prep meal to take to work or when you’re on the go. The chickpeas marinate in minty yogurt dressing at the bottom of the jar, while the spinach stays crisp at the top.

When you’re ready to eat, just shake the jar to disperse the dressing. Pair it with grilled fish or chicken for a heartier meal.
