Chickpea Cucumber Salad (Pinterest-inspired) -

Chickpea Cucumber Salad

I started with this pin (via She Wears Many Hats) and altered the recipe to fit both my tastes and my current pantry.

How it all began…

dill, white onion, cucumber, chickpeas, avocado and apricots. I tossed in some red wine vinegar, black pepper, and lime juice, too.

Even this plain combo of chickpeas and cucumbers is yummy!

But, really. This combo for a salad sounds iffy, but it’s fantastic. The citrus flavor of the apricot (thank you, Lockbriar Farms!) pairs so well with the cool-and-crunchy cucumber, and the textures of both the avocado and the chickpeas brings it together nicely. The dill and red wine vinegar are like icing on the cake! (did someone say cake?)

Seriously, mouth-watering.
