Fit2Go Recipe: Greek Chickpea Salad

WHAT IT IS:

A very quick and easy salad recipe that is low in calories and great for meal prepping for the week! Very flavorful with no added calories from the dressing!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 1 can chick peas
  • 1 cucumber cut into half moons
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper chopped
  • 1 pack cremini or shiitake mushrooms (optional)
  • You may add tomatoes if you like, I don’t because I don’t like tomatoes
  • 1 lime (you will use a combination of the zest and juice)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2- 5oz cans chunk white tuna in oil (I use Wild Planet- Albacore solid white tuna in extra virgin olive oil. 110 cal, 15g protein, 5g fat, 0g carb per serving. If you use a different size. Use these macros to subtract from the total and add your own for an accurate count!)
  • 1- 6oz pack crumbled feta
  • 1/4 C chopped parsley, or add a little more if you’d like
  • 1/4 C chopped basil, or add a little more if you’d like

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

  1. After all of the ingredients are chopped accordingly as listed- Mix them all together in a large bowl!
  2. Zest half of the lime, then cut into quarters and juice it over the mixture
  3. Divide into 4 servings- perfect to place into plastic containers for the week for meal prep!
  4. Now, tell me that wasn’t just the easiest thing you’v ever prepped which is still good days later!
