Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by draining and rinsing the chickpeas, chopping hard-boiled eggs, halving cherry tomatoes, and dicing red onion.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine drained chickpeas, chopped eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion.
- Crumble feta cheese over the mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- In a small separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the chickpea and egg mixture, gently tossing to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Carefully layer the salad into four clean glass mason jars, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days, keeping the salad fresh and ready for quick meals or picnics.
- Before serving, give the jars a gentle shake to redistribute the dressing and ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
Tips
- Layer Strategically: Always place dressing at the bottom of the jar, followed by harder ingredients like chickpeas, then eggs and vegetables to prevent sogginess.
- Chill Before Serving: While the salad is delicious immediately, letting it sit for 30 minutes allows flavors to meld beautifully.
- Customize Your Jar: Feel free to add extras like olives, cucumber, or fresh herbs to personalize your Mediterranean experience.
- Shake Before Eating: Always give your jar a good shake before serving to redistribute the dressing and mix ingredients evenly.
- Meal Prep Magic: These jars can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making them perfect for busy weekday lunches.
