This fresh and flavorful Chickpea, Cucumber & Feta Salad is inspired by the Jennifer Aniston salad that made the rounds on social media this year. Instead of bulgur wheat, try quinoa which keeps this gluten-free and adds a good hit of protein. The addition of fresh parsley, mint and chopped pistachios makes this salad something really special.
