Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (425g)
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced (75g)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced (75g)

- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional) (30g)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed (45ml)
- 2 tablespoons honey (30ml)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, diced peaches, thinly sliced red onion, diced cucumber, and chopped fresh mint leaves. If using, add the crumbled feta cheese.
