Fresh, creamy, and satisfying. This is the kind of salad your gut will thank you for.

Light, cooling, and full of flavour, the Tzatziki Chickpea Salad is a simple go-to when you want something clean and energising.

It brings together crunchy cucumbers, tangy red onions, juicy cherry tomatoes, and hearty chickpeas. Everything gets tossed in a creamy tzatziki dressing that makes every bite refreshing and balanced.

Great for quick lunches, light dinners, or any time you want a feel-good meal made with real ingredients.

Here’s what you’ll need:

 Ingredients:

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed: Chickpeas are a plant-based powerhouse. Rich in protein, fiber, and iron, they keep you full, support digestion, and give your salad that satisfying bite.

  • 1 cucumber, diced: Crisp, hydrating, and naturally cooling. Cucumbers are a must in alkaline-friendly eating, packed with antioxidants and skin-loving hydration.

  • ½ red onion, finely chopped: Red onions add a subtle kick, plus they’re high in antioxidants and sulfur compounds that support natural detox and gut health.

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved: Tomatoes add a pop of color and a dose of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant known to support skin health and reduce inflammation.

  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped: Dill brings a fresh herbal lift that pairs perfectly with creamy tzatziki. It’s also known for its digestive benefits.

  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce: Tzatziki made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and lemon, is creamy, tangy, and gut-friendly thanks to the natural probiotics in the yogurt (this is where the real magic happens).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

✅ Step 1: Prep your produce

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Dice the cucumber, chop the onion, halve the tomatoes, and finely chop the dill.

✅ Step 2: Toss it together

In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and dill.

✅ Step 3: Add the tzatziki

Pour in the tzatziki sauce and mix everything gently but thoroughly. Make sure every bite is coated in creamy goodness.

✅ Step 4: Chill and serve

Let it chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold.
