Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes! To keep it fresh, layer the ingredients in a glass jar: start with the dressing at the bottom, followed by chickpeas and chopped vegetables, and place the lettuce on top. Store the pita chips separately to keep them crunchy. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.

What can I use instead of feta cheese?

If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can swap feta for crumbled tofu, dairy-free feta, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

How can I add more protein to this salad?

You can boost the protein by adding grilled chicken, tuna, hard-boiled eggs, or extra chickpeas. Another great option is adding a scoop of quinoa or lentils for more plant-based protein and fiber.
