Greek Chickpea Salad in a Jar

Aren’t we all trying to eat healthier, like ALL THE TIME?!  I know I am.  I’ve become a big fan of salads in a jar. Especially this amazing Greek chickpea salad in a jar – it’s a healthy vegetarian protein heavy lunch that’s truly delicious! 

Healthy and super easy greek chickpea salad in a jar

With convenient easy lunches like this I can whip up a bunch of different options, put them in a mason jar and store them in the fridge.  They are so simple to grab on the way out the door to work.  If I don’t have a pre-prepared lunch, I always find myself grabbing some carb-heavy lunch from a take out restaurant near my office. 

The best tasting greek chickpea salad in a jar

A little while back, I wrote a post a little while back for a delicious pepperoni pasta salad in a jar.  The pepperoni pasta salad is similar to my Greek chickpea salad, but the Greek salad is a vegetarian option, which is always nice.  Also, if you are keeping an eye on your carbs, the Greek salad is pasta-free!

Easy and delicious vegetarian lunch recipe

Both salads include chickpeas.  I don’t know about you, but I love chickpeas.  They are a sneaky food to help boost your metabolism and taste so yummy when included in salads.  Also, always tasty in your fave hummus.

If your life isn’t quite as on-the-go as mine, this recipe (of course) doesn’t need to be made in a jar.  I use the recipe a lot for a great side dish to bring along to parties.  The salad usually serves as a welcome compliment to an otherwise heavy table of pot luck food.

Super delicious vegetarian protein salad with chickpeas

Now, don’t get my wrong, I love my carbs!  So, when I want to add a little more yummy to the side, I will bring along pita chips or even slightly toasted pita bread. 

The steps to make this salad are so easy!

  • get a large jar or salad container/bowl
  • add dressing to the bottom of the jar
  • pile in chickpeas and mix them in with the dressing a bit
  • next are the feta and onions
  • add tomatoes and lettuce 
  • when you’re ready to eat, shake and enjoy!

The best ever greek chickpea salad in a jar

Do you make salads ahead of time for you?  I’m definitely going to keep this up.  I think I’ll take a few of my salads from the summer of smoothies and salads and adapt them for meal prep salads!

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks.
