They say “It’s summer time and the living is easy.” Whoever made this saying didn’t have to prepare meals for their family. Whenever the temperature starts to rise I want to spend less and less time in the kitchen. I also prefer lighter meals that can be served chilled. I found this recipe for Dill, Chickpea and Feta Salad on Chow.com and adapted it to make it even easier by using a package of Suddenly Salad. My family likes Suddenly Salad without the addition of other ingredients, but with just a few quick additions I can prepare something they think I spent a lot of time preparing. Of course I will not inform them how easy it was. Let them think I spent the afternoon in the kitchen! If you want to make this salad into a complete meal, add 4 ounces of either diced tuna or chicken. Don’t like dill? No problem! Add a different herb or add other veggies to suit you taste. The possibilities and variations that can be created are endless.
- 1 box Classic Suddenly Salad, prepared as directed on package
- 1 can (15 ounce) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup each, diced onion and cucumber
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 Tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- Prepare Suddenly Salad as directed on package. Add dill and parsley, stir until combined. Add all other ingredients, stir until well mixed. Chill until serving.
