Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad

This Middle Eastern vegetable salad recipe was shared to me by my co-worker. She cooks a lot of Middle Eastern style food and occasionally shares some of her food with me and I always love it. My family and I love cucumber and tomatoes, so I knew right away that this dish would be a big hit with them.

This vegetarian dish is delicious, healthy, light and refreshing salad. It is one of those salads that is perfect to have on those hot summer days. The dish consists of chickpeas, English cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, mint and basil. The dressing is a simple one of lemon and olive oil. Enjoy!
