- 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 4 tablespoons Seasoned Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 cup French Sweet Applewood Mustard Spread (or Dijon Honey Mustard)
- 1/4 cup chopped Sun-dried Tomatoes in oil
- 4 oz French Feta Cheese – or any crumbled Feta (French Feta is super creamy so it’s not easy to crumble but do your best it doesn’t have to be perfect!) 🥰
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 4 Persian Cucumbers
- 2 Roma Tomatoes
- 3 stems Green Onions
- 1/2 bunch (2 oz) Italian Parsley
- 1 1/2 cups cooked (drained/rinsed) Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)

- 1 handful of Roasted Walnuts
Instructions
- Chop your cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, and parsley and place them into a large mixing bowl. Drain and wash your chickpeas and place them into the same bowl.
- Add grated garlic, crumble your feta cheese (not easy to crumble because it’s super creamyso do your best and crumble it), sun-dried tomatoes (drained), sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar, roasted sesame seeds, sugar, sweet applewood mustard (or Honey Mustard) and sour cream in the same bowl and give it a toss to a light coat but don’t over mix!
Notes
- If you’re using a regular cucumber (not a Persian cucumber), I recommend cutting it lengthwise, and then using a spoon to scrape out and remove the inner pulp. Leaving the pulp can make your salad too soggy.
